I love onions!
I first heard this song on Music With Moskowitz, which was kind of like Dr. Demento? Here’s what WIKI says;
The song was well received, but only peaked at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[6] Released internationally, “I Love Onions” charted highest in Canada, where it came in at #19 on the RPM 100 national singles on August 1, 1966,[7] and #5 on the CHUM Chart.[8] It was featured in episodes of Captain Kangaroo,[3][9] and later adapted for several television ads, including the debut of Funyuns in 1969 and a 1980 Turtles Chocolate commercial.[10] The original single of “I Love Onions” features a second Hill – Cochrane song, “Take Me As You Find Me” on the b-side.[4]
That’s all very interesting, but I just like to play it while making omelettes.
