Anybody remember this one, or know who the artist(?) was?

This was the theme (or something) of a song (or something) circa about 1958, which a guy I know remembers. These two people are walking through a subway and talking. She–her name might be Eloise–keeps asking him where they are going and why they are walking through a subway and he says, “Just keep walking.”

This song was played on the radio so anybody might have heard it, who was listening to the radio back in 1958. I wasn’t.

If you want to listen, you can get streamin RealAudio of the file [here](http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/10513). (Search within the page for ‘Ambrose Part 5’. It’s right before ‘What’s He Building?’ by Tom Waits, and I suggest you listen to that, too. 'Cause Tom Waits rocks. :))

linda laurie did Ambrose Pt 5 on Glory records in 1958. It was a narrative by a little girl about her future with a boy, but the boy kept interupting with the words “Just Keep Walking”. A classic.

I remember it. Not from 1958, but from Dr. Demento.
