The masturbation connection was a joke that developed well after the release of the record. (A mother asks her teen-aged boy "What are you doing in there, Willis?", 'Willis' being a stereotypical teen-aged boy from the comic strip "Out Our Way With The Willits". "N-n-n-n-nothing, Mother!") A lame joke and not remembered any better than the Willets themselves, but it led to "Willis and the hand jive" with the masturbation connection. Ampwright (talk) 02:37, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
