The Tuesday Song of the Week

When I found this on YouTube, I thought, judging by the name of the artist, that this might actually be a punk record, and not the piece I was looking for. 

Artist's name?  Bent Fabric.

Turns out it WAS what I was looking for, but I cannot wrap my head around the idea that somebody could go about with the name Bent Fabric in 1961.* 

Anyway, every EVERY birthday party, EVERY get-together of any description, this would be on the turntable:

'The Alley Cat' - Bent Fabric

Mr. Fabric's real name is Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, and he's from Denmark.  As of this typing, he's still alive, at age 94.
