Jackie's story about this song: she used to go to a bungalow colony in the Catskills in the summers and they sang their own version of this song (which I now always sing too):
"Sheila says she loves me, She says she'll never leave me oy vey, I wish she would"
Although I know this song, whenever I try to sing it in my head, all I can hear is that song (by Prince? It sounded like it) that goes "oh, oh Sheila."

Good one. As for me, I could list a dozen just from 1959 alone. I'll restrain myself, however.
