According to my Billboard Book Of Top 40 Hits, the notes for that song reads like this: An accounting of 'coincidental' parallels between the careers and deaths of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. It becomes Starcher's biggest hit, peaking at #2 in 1966! What about Buddy Starcher’s History Repeats Itself?

Poole's "White House Blues" may have been the original, but Bill Monroe's recording was the template followed by just about everyone else. Redneck zombie songs: “Keep Them Cold Icy Fingers Off Me.”

Rick, if you know of any redneck zombie songs, send them my way ASAP. Also acceptable: redneck werewolves.
