General Interest
Apparently, Andy Stewart wrote this song in about ten minutes, while sitting trouserless in a lavatory in a recording studio in London. We don't have references to cite for this claim, but it's too good a story not to include!
It was popular in its time, reaching #37 in the UK charts, and #1 in Canada! It resurfaced in 1989, when a UK DJ played it as a novelty - it subsequently reached #4 in the Christmas charts as a re-release!
