Perry often recorded songs between
Christmas and New Year's Day and December, 1959, was no exception. This song
was recorded on the same day as a song which turned out to be one of Perry's
most novel hits, a song punning the names of American "states"
which turned out to be more popular in England than anywhere else. Along
with "Delaware", he recorded the flip side of the single, "I
Know What God Is", and two other songs which were never released.
