- His musical pseudonym is Spanish for, "The Dolt".
- He was the second musician to make a novelty song about Claude King's monster 1962 song, "Wolverton Mountain". Fellow musician, Jo-Ann Campbell came first with "(I'm The Girl On) Wolverton Mountain".
- He wasn't the only novelty artist to parody Lorne Greene's "Ringo." One-hit wonder Larry Finnegan (famous for the 1962 hit "Dear One") parodied it into "The Other Ringo (A Tribute To Ringo Starr)" as a tribute to the Beatles' Ringo Starr. Like "Gringo" it never went to the Billboard charts.
