August of 47,
It was: Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette), Western swing. The original Tex Williams version went to number one for sixteen weeks on the Country Charts. A popular version performed by Phil Harris went number one on the Pop Charts in August 1947 and stayed there for six weeks.
And during one of those August weeks, I came a long. Interstingly enough - I am not a smoker - never was. As has been mentiond many times before - being a non-smoker back when they used to put cigerrettes in your C-Rats - was a great advantage. Could trade them for most anything - especially in the field.

I admire Mr. Jones. He has made great music, has had a profound impact on global mass popular culture, and his romantic conquests are legendary. (It says something about a guy when his exes hang out with each other, talk about how great things were, and not have that "aha" moment and start comparing notes. Well done, Q! Well done!)
That being said, I'd like to see a better application of his philanthropy, his leadership, and his artistry than rebooting that dreadful song.

So I guess the comments about me at least being spared from hearing this song over and over again don't really apply anymore... nice.
