Details of removal of "de facto advertisement" text in Composition section[edit]

The Composition section of the article currently states:

The song functions as a de facto advertisement for the collection Memories of El Monte when it references songs on the compilation.

The article lists seven songs that are referenced. (These are correct.) The above comment follows in the article.

The article also says:

In 1960, Art Laboe released one of the first oldies compilations, Memories of El Monte, a collection of songs by bands that used to play at the dances Laboe organized at El Monte Legion Stadium in El Monte, California.

Without further details, the referenced compilation must be Starla ST-1960 for which artwork is here.

However, only two of the referenced songs:

"You Cheated" by The Shields

"Cherry Pie" by Marvin & Johnny

are included in said compilation.

As such, the text referring to this section of the song being a de facto advertisement for the 1960 "Memories of El Monte" compilation is unwarranted.

I will remove this text.
