The Fifties original of Poison Ivy by The Coasters was one of Linda's favourites. She had a lasting affections for the doo-wop music of her youth, having spent many hours under the bedclothes with a transistor radio glued to her eark listening to Alan Freed's Rock'n Roll Show. The song's sense of humour is typical of many from that period.
