Deram reached into the novelty bag for DM 112, "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" by Whistlin' Jack Smith. Deram had their first charter Stateside with this one. It was recorded by the Mike Sammes Singers and one Billy Moeller, brother of Tommy Moeller from Unit 4 + 2, was hired to be WJS, and tour. I wonder if Billy was embarrassed by this bit of nonsense? Here he is on Beat Club lip synching to a record he didn't record.

He looks like a cross between Josh Hartnett and Paul Jones from Manfred Mann.
