*First line is the band name.1969. The band name sounds like a housing feature with creative spelling. The idea of this song was made famous at the turn of the 20th century in a poem by Rosemonde Gérard, the wife of the poet and playwright Edmond Rostand (Cyrano de Bergerac). This band was recognizable for its horns and lead singer Pat Upton's voice. Upton later played in Rick Nelson's band and narrowly missed being on the plane that killed Nelson in 1985.
