This is a track that just like Richard Berry's other hit (Louie Louie) was made huge by another artist...In this case it was many years later when the Sonics raucous garage version of this tune was used in a commercial. However, I am partial to the original in its laid back, cool style (not to say I don't love the Sonics version, which I do although I enjoyed the Sonics much more when I was in high school cruising around in my '80 Mustang with the windows down blasting garage rock).
from 1959...
