In the 60's, just about anything went on the music charts. Case in point: the Fifth Estate's sole national hit. Lyricist Don Askew made a bet at a party that he could turn any subject into a hit. Some adult beverages were involved. Duh. This tune from "The Wizard Of Oz" was suggested, and by incorporating sections of a piece from 17th century German composer Michael Praetorius, Askew pulled it off.
