	fiogf49gjkf0d This version of She's Big And Round is not by The Pardon Us Five, but The Pardon Us Four. As Dr. Demento explained on his 6/4/11 show, The Pardon Us Four origianlly recorded it in 1983, then they got a new member in 1984 and rerecorded it as The Pardon Us Five. I have added the "The Pardon Us Four" artist page at www.themadmusicarchive.com/artist_details.aspx?ArtistID=9279 and the "She's Big And Round by The Pardon Us Four" song page at www.themadmusicarchive.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=45176 Refer to the official Dr. Demento playlist at www.dmdb.org/cgi-bin/plinfo.pl?drd83.1211.html -- note this playlist gives the title as "Big And Round" but I'm sure it it is the same recording that was played on the February 12, 1984 show under the title of "She's Big And Round" Please update this TMMA playlist page. Thanks.

	fiogf49gjkf0d The other one for the 1984 show went through. This one is still giving an error.
