I forgot the lovely one, courtesy of Paramount Records
who labelled a Blind Lemon Jefferson song 

THAT GROWLIN' BABY BLUES 

I gather it ought to have been CRAWLIN' 

A printer once sabotaged my reference to the novelist Jessie Kesson 
so that she hadn't a growing but a growling popularity 

I like the idea of the growling baby, though 
maybe called Benny but unlikely to be from Heaven
