On August 23, 2012, the song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm as part of a collection of lost songs, but it did not gain much traction.[1]
On July 15, 2013, the song was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user Guglielm,[2] before being reuploaded on August 14, 2014.[3] Based on the OP's other found songs, this song was most likely recorded between 1991 and 1993, and recorded from the WFMU New Jersey radio station.[4]
The song's lyrics come from a joke in which one character, often called Antonio, tells another character a story that begins with the same opening line.[5]
