Who first heard this song on "Bringing Out the Dead" with Nicholas Cage?

That's kind of racist

My, my. I had the Masked Marauders LP (CDs were still in the future) in college, it had a cover of this song, and I assumed it had been written specifically for the LP--it was certainly loopy enough to fit in! I had no clue that it was a cover version! I like this one better because original black doo-wop is just about always better, and because I can hear the words more clearly!

Okay you guys, I'm gonna sound like an ass but I need some help.

I'm looking for a song that samples this but at a faster tempo.

It starts with:

"Herman, set the playback machine to 1959 and..."

I think he says herman....

please, anyone ever heard of this? Google know NOTHING of it. :[

@iAmThePhatMan This was done by the masquaders, a session group that put out a satire album. Had people think it was Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Mick Jagger.

Beautifully appropos in context of the UCLA Pea-Brain Blonde Cow viral video.

Both the Cellos and The Charts when to Charles Evans Hughes High School in New York City (Not sure that the entire group of Cellos went there, but I think so)
