Jimmy Drake was a demo singer from California, doing hundreds of them a year for aspiring songwriters across the country.
With the help of a disc-jockey friend adding radio-station car-crash sound effects, he took one of his homemade demos, "Transfusion," and brought it to the Top Ten in 1956. His subsequent singles ("The Fang," "Ape Call," "The Wild Dogs of Kentucky," and "Bullfrog Hop") fared less well but still maintain the same warped spirit. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi
