.rhe moment n song is put 'on the
streets as we call it. it becomes tre-
mendously popular. You hear it every

70 school. 1t is played in every street.
But my publisher shakes his head sad

" the beginning Of the end-a boom
which dies away. People get tired OF
hearing the same song wherever they
on whatever the song may be. and the
