Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Lie

So yesterday reports surfaced that Paul Vance, the writer of "Itsy-Bitsy Teeny Weeny Tiny Polka Dot Bikini" had died.

This came as a shock to Paul Vance. Apparently, the real guy (who has produced song royalty records to prove his legitimacy) is alive and well. The guy who died had been telling his wife for the past 30-something years that HE wrote the song, but had signed away his royalty rights or something. She had no idea. So now she has to deal with the fact that her husband just died, plus he'd been "living a lie," perhaps to impress her, all these years.

Wild.

It's Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Not Tiny Polka Dot Bikini. I know that was before your time, but not mine. I remember it well. Trust me on this one. Seizure later...

I will definitely have to trust you on this one -- young whippersnapper that I am.
