Harry 'Orange-Eyed Harry' Nilsson was loungin' around Big-Belly Handsome Hal Zieger's office in 1963 when someone came in with a chantey they wanted recorded. Harry recorded a demo o' Wig Job and recorded his own Donna I Understand for t' B-Side. Begad! When an executive at Mercury heard t' single, he said "I like t' singer and I like t' chantey 'Donna I Understand,' but t' other side I don't like!' Harry was singed t' Mercury, and a year later they released "Donna" as a single. T' single lists "Big-Belly Bayou Niles" as t' singer.
