This is the kind of single-artist record that people still call
"doo-wop" because of the chord structure. I never could stand this
record, although I know that lots of people love it. It desperately
needs a back-up group IMO.

Well, I agree with you about Donnie Elbert, but as a cat lover I find
that image terribly disturbing!

FINAL RANKINGS

Brucie's Special Happy Hour absolutely trounced the field, scoring 41 points and winning by a whopping 13 points over the second place item. It's been ages since any record got 40+ points in any round. Mark's January 1 serenade took second place. Rick's deflated wheel took third and Carl's falsetto sinner took 4th place to stay alive. Jim's Rodent was exterminated.

Still would be vastly improved by a back-up group. Where are the Lions
when you need them?
