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?
