"Tommy" (he likes us to call him that) sang over a song for us the other day that he had written for an act, entitled "FIDO B A HOT DOG N0W'\ Before he knew what struck him, Phil Kornheiser, our professional manager, locked him in a piano room and didn't let him go out again until he had a contract for the song* You couldn't buy this song from ''Tommy'' under $500* We felt we owed it to our professional friends to "stake them" to a good comedy song and as we were looking for one so long for that purpose, that we had to hug the song and ''Tommy" to be able to hand it to our friends. In order to draw attention to this adver- tisement we are going to print the title again, but this time in large type. IS A HOT DOB NOW The Original Frankfurter Song We told you all about "Tommy", but we don't want to overlook the fact that CHARLES McCARRON and RAT WALKER chipped in a stack of "Reds," by writing one of the cleverest melodies ever composed for a comedy song* This then, is an invitation for our friends to write in to get THEIR COPY of "FIDO", the "Hot" comedy song.
