2:34
single, 1950
Written by Milton Delugg and Willie Stein
In this song, the narrator is struck, quite literally, with love, as if by an epiphany, yea, like unto Saul on the road to Damascus."I was walking along, minding my business / when love came and hit me in the eye / Flash! Bam! Alakazam! / Out of an orange colored sky." The song doesn't mention anything about the object of his affections. Does he like her walk, her talk, her light brown hair, jeepers creepers, her peepers? This is like Homer deliberately not describing Helen of Troy so the listener can use his imagination.
