most intrigued I did a google for "hula hoop song" with a search within the results for "Georgia Gibbs" and sure enough I found several other sites linking "Her Nibs" to the song including a cached only page:- http://www.top40db.org/Songs/ID_58101.shtml which attributes the displayed lyrics to Georgia you can even download a short (30 second) small( 354KB) mp3 sample of Georgia's version from:- http://www.opuscds.com/track/154064 but a similarly cached only page on the same top40 site:- http://www.top40db.org/Songs/ID_58370.shtml attributes the exact same lyrics toTeresa Brewer and no less an authority than the CBC Archives has a feature on the craze at:- http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-68-916-...la_hoop_canada where in the same "Did You Know" section it records both:- "Sept. 21, 1990. • In the liner notes for the album Gordon Lightfoot: Songbook, Lightfoot reveals that the first song he wrote was about the Hula Hoop craze. Though this song was never recorded" and "Popular singer Georgia Gibbs recorded The Hula Hoop Song which became a Top 40 hit in 1958" without actually connecting the two facts other than through the name "hula hoop" also on:- http://www.440.com/twtd/archives/sep06.htm it is stated that "1958 - Georgia Gibbs sang The Hula-Hoop Song on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was the first national exposure for the Hula-Hoop craze. Many people recorded the song to capitalize on the fad, including Teresa Brewer and Betty Johnson." I humbly submit that if this had really been Gordon's penned song the fact that such eminent singers had recorded it and one had sang it on the taciturn Ed's popular show (uh ho now I know where the word "tacky" comes from!!) would feature prominently in Gord's bios and his memory. I'll try to remember to ask him if and when I get another chance to talk to him Any thoughts chart historian supremo Walter Borderstone??

Purely as a service, (to avoid others getting a rush of blood to the head like me) I can confirm that no matter what angle you look at this maiden (including rolling on the floor upside down looking upwards at the screen,)there is no hint of X-ratedness.
It is lamentable that the master of posting graphics has not yet graduated to 3D...... |
She reminds me of a Go Go Girl...
