The Sweater

From Ask MetaFilter:
Help me ID this song from the ’80s: This is a song about a sweater, how it possibly unravels, or involves a boy and a girl, and would have been played on the radio as a new release in the 1980s. Not Weezer’s Sweater Song, something different! It was odd (maybe a novelty song?), involving more spoken language than actual singing. King Missile’s Detachable P*nis always reminded me of this earlier song for some reason. I’ve been trying to figure out this song for years, and any searching I do turns up Weezer, and that’s not it. I remember it getting a lot of radio play in Knoxville, TN where I grew up, some time during the 1980s.
It’s pretty awesome. Oh to be a teenage girl again.
Update: Apparently Meryn Cadell never wanted to be a teenage girl in the first place.
