Something I’m not buying that plays on a device I don’t own

Until a few minutes ago, I was unaware of this recording. Apparently, in response to the Royal Guardsmen’s hit “Snoopy vs. the Red Baron”, a UK act called The Delicatessen released what looks to be their only single, a response song called “The Red Baron’s Revenge”.
