Young Michelle Scotti's accent is evident on this. She also recorded "Lonely Little Drummer Boy" in '64, but neither song cracked the Billboard Hot 100 -- the year of Beatle-mania.
Brian did do the original version but it was not promoted as such. It was simply the B side of another single and the chart action was not memorable. Michelle's version was promoted and released as the A side.
lol - promoted or not doesn't matter. Being a B side still makes Brians the original version. I just thought you should correct the title comment - but thats up to you. Thanks for posting this either way :)
Nice tune! Do you have the flip side?
If you do could you please share that one also..Thanks :-)

Sounds a lot like a middle-school Cyndi Lauper.

Someone needs some cheese with their whine. LOL. I would love to hear Brian Hyland's version of this song!

Interesting, but not the original version - Brian Hyland did the orginal version in 1963

You're welcome & you have your point & it's taken. I'll change the heading to read something like "earlier version of".
