Fond memories of the spring of 1991!
That was when a kid at school showed up drunk. It was also when a student who attended my school for one day goofed off all day.
And it was the spring of the "Coke can trip." I went on a trip to Pittsburgh back then in which a Coke can kept crinkling in the middle of the night. Someone kept farting really loud too. That was also when the motel was hosting a convention of dog lovers, but dogs barking wasn't nearly as loud as the flatulence or the soft drink can.
The lost hit profiled in this entry brings back memories of the "Coke can trip"!
By 1991, however, major pop stations in large cities played very little rock. So I probably didn't hear this record on a Pittsburgh station. It might have been when we had the radio on a Steubenville station.
One of the reasons I'm profiling this lost hit is to note that the Rebel Pebbles might be the highest charting act in the history of Billboard's Hot 100 to not have a Wikipedia entry. But they've had stiff competition from Colourhaus, the Johnny Average Band, Or-N-More, and St. Paul.
I wouldn't expect World Book in 1991 to have an entry on the Rebel Pebbles, because encyclopedias always excluded famous rock acts, even though they included other contemporary entertainers (such as Dan Quayle). But Wikipedia even has an entry on Domino Rally, so it should have an entry on music notables like the Rebel Pebbles.
