Didn`t realise it was Dr Music ,see you do learn something new everyday.
Have a great weekend all.
The label was Tuesday Records (same label that Steel River was on). I don't recall hearing either version on any Vancouver station. At best, there might have been an occasional spin in the dead of night
on a comedy segment of someone's all-night show.
Here's the tune from you tube:

I haven't had the chance to hear the song since 1971...
You Tube has only the FLIP side of the single on line for some strange reason.
Maybe because it was a dud novelty hit?
LOL!
Then....
there was this OTHER missing CanCon hit: Do The Footsie, 1969, by THE CHOSEN FEW.
(It was later covered in 1975 by a British group calling themselves: 'Wiggam's Chosen Few').
Another one I don't recall ever hearing anywhere back in 1969. I have heard of The Chosen Few, but have no idea why.
Here's the original "Do The Footsie" from You Tube:
