Every time I hear it on the radio or wherever, it always sounds like: "Ba Ba Ba, Ba Ba Ba Ran". I still maintain that the song is really "Baba Ran". And that falsetto is awful! (Ba-ba Ran....) (on a sidenote, there were some new lyrics written in the wake of the hostage situation five years ago -- 'nuff said!) And when I was younger, I thought Buddy Holly was singing about "Peggy Soup" (now I know it's Peggy Sue). Shades of cannibalism here? :-) -- From under the smogberry trees....
