HDM label owner Hadley Murrell with the origin story on Penguin Feet and The Teardrop Kid: "One day in 1977, Eddie Horan came up to my office for a writing session we had scheduled. Eddie started clowning around and began to impersonate Geraldine Jones, a famous sassy, brazen and outspoken character Flip Wilson had created for his hit comedy television show. I jumped in and said, "Larry, Move Your Hand." Eddie looked at me, I looked at Eddie; that special look we had that said "SONG." On the following Saturday, Eddie and I finished writing the now classic song that was born from that silly, fun afternoon. Eddie and I went to work with Ray Jackson, the arranger and finished "Larry" in two hours.
