n St. Petersburg, Russia, a young Russian Air Force paratrooper, fresh home from his two years of military service, was celebrating his birthday with friends when one apparently asked if he thought he could break a brick over his head. Our Trooper went to look for a brick, but unable to locate one, he opted instead for an empty beer bottle. However glass bottles are not deemed quite the challenge of a brick, so he went for quantity - - - as he was breaking the 24th bottle - - - on his head, he finally knocked himself out - - -

On this day in 1958, "The Witch Doctor" hit No. 1 as written by songwriter and singer Ross Bagdasarian (who recorded the song under the name David Seville)- It was one of the first if not the first to use the unusual technique of recording the singer's voice at a different speed than the music. Ross Bagdasarian topped the charts again at the end of the year - with "The Chipmunk Song".

And he taught me the way to win your heart
