Ron Dante (The Detergents) : Two of my friends, Danny Jordan and Tommy Wynn, we were all staff writers at Don Kirshner's publishing company. Danny's uncle was a guy named Paul Vance, who was a very successful songwriter in the fifties and sixties. He wrote Catch a Falling Star for Perry Como. He wrote Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini for Brian Hyland. He was very talented. He came up with this idea to do a parody of Leader of the Pack. He asked Danny to bring in a couple of friends. Danny and I blew on over and we ended up singing on this parody. It became a career for a couple of years. We went out and toured on the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars singing 'Leader of the Laundromat.'
