It looks like a musical prank concocted by high school students,
probably from Ohio. The Offbeats recorded two records in 1959 : first
the album and then the EP. There is some variations in the composition of the group. Hubie Gardiner, Teddy Bayer and John "What's This Knob Do?" Eilers (sound engineer) are on both records. For detailed credits, see the back covers above.
Dave Swigert, pianist on their LP but not present on their EP, later played with The Starlighters on Lee Records(Slow And Easy / One Way Express). He penned both songs, though credited to Ray Pennington (under his Ray Starr pseudonym here).
