I've got some "found footage" for you today. While at the thrift store in December, I found this test pressing 45 record simply marked "THE CASTANET" - with no artist credited. Someone may have thought it was going to be a hit. After careful listening, I have determined that it was not by chance that this record did not appear on the top ten chart. LYRICS:

I went around the world, searching for a girl
One that I could call my true romance
All I seen in vain until I got to Spain
and I went to fiesta dance

Saw a Spanish girl do a lively whirl
one that I'm so glad that I met
a-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
she was doing the castanet

Then she snapped her fingers and she clicked her heels
while she was spinning round and round
She showed me how, you ought to see me now
When I'm doing the castanet

Now I can click my heels, I can snap my fingers
Spin Around and around
Got myself in line, now I'm doing fine
yes I'm doing the castanet
