LENA SAVARONI, LULU AND AN EMU!



Lena was a child singing sensation best known for Take The Ribbon From My Hair. And of course Lulu had a smash with To Sir, With Love along with many other lesser known, very soulful hits which mainly stayed in the UK. I do not remember Rod Hull, who manned the emu puppet. I do remember there being some issue with Fujiyama Mama's lyrics. It was a redneck rockabilly song where Wanda claims she could cause"destruction/just like the atom bomb"--which the US had just used on Japan!
