What is a "dead creeping charlie"?

...and I'm assuming it's not the plant!





On the album, Small Change, the following is written: "For the lyrics to "Step Right Up" send by prepaid mail a photo of yourself, two dead creeping charlies, and a self addressed stamped envelope to: the Tropicana Motor Hotel, Hollywood, California c/o Young Tom Waits".





What exactly does this mean?

What is a "dead creeping charlie"?
The statement is a goof from the company. I don't know what a creeping Charlie is but why would they need your photo to send you song lyrics? The name Young Tom Waits is also a goof. It really means a young man named Tom waits for you at the motel (Motor Hotel). It's a joke. Don't take it seriously.
Reply:Is it a charlie that is dead and creeps?
Reply:its an ivy that grows in northern US that is a M.F.er' to kill.
