He never mentioned specifics about writing the song

Question 2:

Rose Leroux, talked with the AP about her husband. “When he was young, he sold all the rights to the songs because he was young and foolish and now, ’Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’ is becoming popular again.” Is this true?

	Yes, a foolish adolescent decision made long ago			We need to talk

	No, he kept the rights, and the money kept rolling in

Question 3:

I'm not dead! Paul Vance was red in the face, not the dead Paul Vance, the living Paul Vance. Paul Vance of Ormond Beach, Florida was dead; Paul Vance of Coral Springs, Florida was alive and well. Say, just who is this guy in Coral Springs?
