Earworm of the Day: Pink Shoelaces

Here's another nice Chicago-born girl, Geraldine Ann Pasquale, aka Dodie Stevens. It's hard to believe that voice was coming to us, live, out of a thirteen-year-old, but then, back in the day, they actually expected pop performers to be able to carry a tune on their own, without someone running it through a machine to correct its pitch.



That makes hearing this all night in my sleep slightly less intolerable.

Of course, it could have been worse: I could have been hearing it in another language, in different voices, and not realized what the heck the song was, until the coin dropped in the slot much later.
