Facts:

Although this is a lovely recording of the solo guitar part without orchestra, it is not the original version. Here is the award winning version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mREi_Bb85Sk (Dave AuJus)

Not at all demented, but played on Dr. Demento twice- once as a bonus track at show's end and once during a 'Weird Al' Yankovic interview?! (Stavro Arrgolus)

In 1968 the piece won three Grammy® awards: Best Instrumental Composition, Best Contemporary-Pop Performance, Instrumental, and Best Instrumental Arrangement. (Stavro Arrgolus)

Originally from the album "The Mason Williams Phonograph Record." (1968) (Stavro Arrgolus)
