Seems to me that David Sivill's actual name was "Ross
Bagdasarian/spelling may be phonetic rather than actual!.  I know he
did one song called The Bird On My Head,/"I'm just sitting in a vacant
lot, with the bird sitting on my head,
The things we want, we haven't got,
Need a house, a car, and bed!" or something to that effect!  (The more
things change, the more they stay the same!)  Blessed CHRISTmas to you
all!***Speaking of Christmas, Do you remember Christmas Dragnet, and
or Green Christmas, by the one and only Stan Freeberg?
