There was a novelty song in the late sixties or early seventies entitled
"The Eggplant That Ate Chicago".  Don't know if that was the origin or
merely another follow-up.  Not sure on the name of the band: Paper Lace?
Or were they the ones responsible for "The Night Chicago Died"?

I think I remember the song as being similar in style to the New Vaudville
Band's "Winchester Cathedral".
