I always detested that "Priscilla" song including Cooley's original.

The best that I can say is that its not *quite* as bad as the truly
dreadful Julius LaRosa and Frankie Vaughan cover versions

And I've always liked it. It is one of those songs I occasionally find myself singing to myself.

I even have it on my jukebox, backed by one of my all-time favorites, "It Took A Long Time" by Malcolm Dodds and the Tunedrops:

Seeing the Royal Roost label in the "Priscilla" video reminded me of another all-time favorite which is on that label.
