Question
I remember lyrics from a song way back, it was on the radio, but no one knows it, and I can't find it. Here are the lyrics I remember:
It starts out "wett'n er down boys, wett'n er down, wiping it off boys, wiping it off..." then later "there I was just starin' at the billy, quietly asking myself now will he, use that thing to make my eardrums ring, and its all a bad dream, and I'm in south Philly, now tell'em Mr. Horner
I have never heard this song, and I don't recognize anything about it.
But, I did some research, and just when I was aobut to give up I found this: http://www.bobbydarin.com/mrhohner.html
I think that is the song you are looking for, it is Me & Mr Horner
buy Bobby Darin.
OOOPS my mistake, that should be Me & Mr HOHNER, not HORNER.

Expertise
I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
