Love this song . Never knew there were two recordings of it though . Must try and get hold of the other one . Made NO.2 here in the UK . Never knew there were sequels to this but then given how the song ends I could not have seen how there could have been . After all as it goes , "everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John ." Did always wonder if this had been based on something that really did happen ? Obviously not though it is a sort of thing that could . Funny thing about it though . A man of six foot six back then might be considered outsized , and as can be the case such people are not all that strong . Look at the actor Richerd Keel who played Jaws in a couple of the bond films . They say he is not very strong .
Another point I must mention here is the B side song . This has varied but on the single I have here at home has a song called , "I Wont Go Hunting With You Jake , But I'll Go Chasing Women ." That is definately worth a listen .
