Like a few million other people, I first heard this song in the film "What We Do In The Shadows", a Vampire mockumentary. Hilarious movie. Such a great choice of music.
I didn't know much about Norma Tanega until now, so here is a little bit of what I've learned:
She had a song called Walkin' My Cat Named Dog, which is also excellent. Her mom was Panamanian and her father was Filipino. She grew up in California. She lived to be 80 years old. She was also a painter. When she was a teenager she had her art displayed at the Long Beach Public Library. She also studied classical piano. She lived an adventurous life, backpacked through Europe, had a romantic relationship with Dusty Springfield (!), became more of an experimental musician later on.
