2 MG is a British sports car brand founded in 1924. It is best known for
two-seat open sports cars, but also produces coupés. More recently, the brand
has also made sportier versions of other models belonging to the Morris Garages,
the parent company. Morris Garages comes from a dealer of Morris cars in Oxford,
England which began producing its own customized versions to the designs of the
MG company. The company and the brand name have changed hands many times over
the years.

4 These lines are from the song, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," written by
Oscar Hammerstein for the 1943 musical, Oklahoma.

5 "Montego Bay" was a hit for Bloom in September 1970, in both the UK Singles
Chart, and in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, record chart, where it reached #8.

6 Bloom is known best for being a one-hit Wonder with "Montego Bay." However,
he also played a role as a songwriter and entrepreneur connected to the Kama
Sutra/Buddah group of labels. He did engineering work for a number of artists,
and he formed a producing/songwriting partnership with Jeff Barry that included
working on a late Monkees album. All of his solo recordings employed the
successful formula of pop, calypso, and rock. Toward the end of his life, Bloom
suffered from depression. Unfortunately, was killed on February 28, 1974, at the
age of 28 after charging into a room in a fight over a girl and was accidentally
shot in a scuffle with a man who was never identified.
