Useless Trivia

A mystery for the ages.
Did the Cherokees cleverly and subtly rip off the Hatchet Men? Or Did The Hatchet Men do a hatchet job on Miki Dallon?

Both songs mention "diamonds and pearls" in the lyrics. Highly suspicious, sez I.

This seems to be the original...a bit of a killer actually

Not a mystery.
The Hatchet Men 45 was released in late 1964, ahead of all the other suspect versions.
Check TBM for verification.
