Just got a 1962 hit by Pat Boone "Speedy Gonzales", played on a radio show,
The last line is "Hey Conchita, you can get gren stamps with tequila!" To those under about 50, "Gren (Shield) stamps" were issued by shops as an incentive, youy had to stick them in little books then take them along to the "Gren Shield Stamp Shop" and surrender a certain number for a gift.
There was a rival, S & H Pink stamps. Both companies stemmed from the USA of course. I remember licking the stamps before we put them in the boks, the gum they used was yukky. I think the idea died about 1970. All I can remember us getting was a prety cheapo weighing machine for the bathroom.
What obscure lyrics take you back to YOUR childhood?
