Not heard much nowadays in the UK - at least not hereabouts. (North East) I've never said it. Nor was it heard in South Africa.

Once upon a time, there were two retired vaudevillians -- Zippity and Doo-Dah, who been a song-and dance team on stage for many years. Zippity was the singer; Doo-Dah did the dancing.
They often passed their time fishing together until, one day, there was a terrible accident: their skiff overturned and one of them drowned. Try as he might, Zippity was unable to resuscitate his old friend and partner Doo-Dah.
The police came and took down all of the pertinent information. They asked where Doo-Dah lived and were prepared to go and notify his next of kin but Zippity insisted that he be allowed to break the dreadful news to the family.
Zippity stood on the porch, knocked on the door, and, when the son and daughter-in-law answered, he broke into song (to the tune of "Camptown Races"): "The boat tipped over and guess who died? ..."

There is an annual Tick Festival in Heeney, Colorado. I am not going near the lines surrounding the title of Miss Sucker. Not me! I KNOW those police are still here somewhere.

No mention of Miss Sucker, but here are some, er, interesting pictures: http://www.coloradodreams.com/tfhome.htm My fave is the Lunaticks. Acc'g. to another site, the festival hasn't been held for the last couple of years.
