Until I started putting this song together, I always assumed that it referred to a girl named "Jeanette Isabella." I think maybe most people do. However, when I checked Wikipedia for the songwriter and the date, I read the story about the TWO girls Jeanette and Isabella.

Incidents like that always make me wonder just how many other things "I know" that are actually wrong. Just in doing all these songs, I've stumbled upon quite a few.
