Biography
Hailing from California, Jimmy Drake made his living recording hundreds of demos each year for songwriters hoping to catch a break nationwide. Enlisting a disc-jockey friend to supply radio-station car-crash sound effects, he turned one of his homemade recordings, “Transfusion,” into a Top Ten hit in 1956. Follow-up singles such as “The Fang,” “Ape Call,” “The Wild Dogs of Kentucky,” and “Bullfrog Hop” met with far less commercial response yet kept the same warped spirit.
