While eating lunch and listening to George's Tommy James tune, I thought of this one and listened again.
In 1963 The Kingsmen, a garage band paid a $50 studio fee to record a monster hit that was released in late 1963 and stayed on the charts into 1964. Alas, the Kingsmen were a one hit wonder. Record sales were helped as the song was banned by many AM radio stations at the time - google it to read why. The song was played by virtually every band that played a party in the 60's close to the end of the decade.
Bring's back some good memories including my first girlfriend:
