"Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me
Your Comb" - The detective drama 77
SUNSET STRIP/ABC/1958-64 featured a hip, young
parking lot attendant named Gerald Lloyd Kookson
III (Edd Byrnes) more popularly called "Kookie"
who was constantly running a comb through the
locks of his hair.
1959 Album with "Lend Me You
Comb"
Kookie's narcissistic habit
of combing his hair inspired a hit Warner Brothers 45 rpm rock and
roll recording "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your
Comb)" (1959).
In the song, a girl (Connie Stevens)
continually asks Kookie to put down his comb so
she can get romantic. The song was originally
performed during the opening episode of the
1959-60 season when Kookie helped Stuart Bailey
(Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) catch a jewel thief.
