Once upon a time, I discovered that at least three songs titled “Run, Run, Run” had made the pop charts. Repeating words seemed to be a common theme; I knocked this out originally as a cassette, and with some minor changes (including all three “Run” songs for once) it’s now on a CD-R. The strange four-legged creature was spotted selling hosiery forty or so years ago, so she’s probably heard some of these tunes.
