Metal Mickey	You'll forgive me if I don't get too excited about the origins of the lead vocal on a 32 year-old novelty hit from a one-hit wonder...?
giles2008	Seems it was according to Wiki. My mistake. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_Motello
Tipsheet2002	I did publicity for Plastic Bertrand at Sire Records and met Roget...who was a very sweet guy. Never heard him sing though...but let's be honest that wasn't a record that needed a great voice, just a good look and a lot of personality and he certainly had those. He did release several lp's...and he did perform I believe...so is it possible he just didn't sing the single? ALSO I thought it was the reverse, that the Elton Motello record was the copy.
giles2008	And the song was of course a rip off of this. It used the same backing track but the lyric was not a direct translation.
