Bob Noonoo – the who who gave the Kroks two great things: Nathan’s hot dogs + An indelible rendition of tears on my pillow by Little Anthony  & The Imperials . . . so I thought I’d borrow & bastardize a couple lyrics Bob sang so beautifully . . .

You can’t remember us, but we remember you
‘Twas not so long ago, you broke our hearts in two
Tears on our pillows, pain in our hearts
Caused by you
