Actually, it looks like the original version of "Little Altar Boy" was done by Vic Dana, but Casey's people couldn't find that version, so they played the Andy Williams version instead.
Final: Memphis 70 - 77 Vanderbilt (OT). Huge win for the Commodores, who run their record to 11-0. They remain at Number 10 on Ken Pom, who now projects them to go 25-6. On Sunday, the Commodores will be on Tobacco Road, visiting Wake Forest.
Number 21: Spike Jones, "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" It seems like this song was still a big deal -- or at least well known -- in the 1970's, but it has disappeared from the culture since then.
Number 40: Elvis Presley, "If Every Day Was Like Christmas"
ReplyDeleteFinal: Tennessee 83 - 62 Louisville. UT (8-3) jumps up to 15 on Ken Pom. U of L (9-2) falls to 14. UK still at 20.
