Darling Claire,
Phew, just back from the airport with enough time to upload
"Some Someday" by Mikki Young to musica before my next
psychotherapy session. They're compulsory. Gawd, anyone would
think I was unbalanced, or something. The link:

Claire, didn't I bump into you at the Purple Pussycat, down in
the Village, during one of my New York jaunts in 1964? You were
trying to teach Tiny Tim how to do The Slop, I recall.

Just as we all suspected, a euphemism.

Has anyone here ever heard I Don't Know Why? If so, was it as elaborate
and catchy as Here It Comes, or just another throwaway B-side in the
typical Spector fashion? Do tell. :-)

I doubt you'll find many other enthusiasts. She was one of the
zillion singers that suddenly popped up during the big "yéyé"
period. As far as I remember she never had a real bona fide hit
but was not totally unknown either.

The Sexologie comp is out of print, but there's one called Dingo
that might yet be available. I got it on both CD and LP from Dusty
Groove America http://www.dustygroove.com/ which is typically a good
source for at least reissued French material here. But there's also
a nice Jazzman reissue 45 out as well. Again, try DGA, if not Jazzman
itself. There's also a cover on a Japanese comp called Cuties.

It's been a while, so I had to look up EP sleeves:
http://www.joedassin.info/en/disc28.html
... but, yeah, I actually have this one. But I might
never have even listened to it (I have little boxes of
French 45s/EPs that I haven't necessarily listened
to). But at least I know roughly where this one is .

That will answer everything you want to know about that song,
abandoned lyrics, etc.
