This features a kazoo and a descriptive voiceover about onions. I'm not sure I want to listen to it repeatedly but I found it fascinating.
Susan Christie was from Philadelphia. She and her partner, John Hill, spent $700 to produce "I Love Onions". It only reached #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 but did better in Canada, making it to #19, and better still in Toronto.
Christie and Hill released two other singles without success and then created a more serious album, Paint a Lady, which was not released until 2006. "I Love Onions" has been featured on the Dr. Demento radio program and was used as the source for the "I Love Turtles" jingle for Turtles chocolates in 1980.
The CHUM Chart Book, which is my reference for the singles on this website, claims that Susan Christie was Lou Christie's sister. I saw no evidence to support this anywhere, especially given that Lou Christie's birth name was actually Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco.
