My neighbor and I used to dance around my living room 'singing' this when we were younger. One of us played Connie's part, the other played Ed's. :P I grew up listening to oldies and had a few of those malt shop compilation CDs with a bunch of different songs on them. They really are the greatest!
Edward Byrnes was on an old episode of Married with Children as the "celebrity guest" at some time share presentation that Peg and Al attended. Now I better understand the reference with his handing out combs in the show. ...and why it was sad and funny at the same time.
@asaxfiend Didn't know that. Thanks for the info! My Mom was in her early teens, and had a crush on Kookie, although she would be embarrassed to admit it in later years :)
@kayfowler1 ginchiest is the most totally upmost baby on the scene - like - to cruise the prom in my totally milled out bitchin' ride - wheel in one hand, totally curvatious in the other. Kooky lingo! It was more a cross between a Beat (Beatnic) slang and a Valley Girl Smooth. In its day, Edd Byrnes' Kooky was to language (new slang intros) as American Bandstand was to dancing!
@kayfowler1 they didn't use that word, I believe, it was made up for the song. Probably. Maybe not. I was there, and never heard anybody use that word, unless maybe in some B movie or some neighborhood in New York.
I have been hanging onto a scrap of paper for two months with the name of this song, trying to remember to look it up.
The reason.......on some list, somewhere..... it was listed as the worst song ever. I was in high school in the 70's so I missed out on falling in love with this little gem. However for those who love it, or that it brings back great memories, have at it. Heck, I still have a secret place in my heart for "The Night Chicago Died".
Thank you so much for posting this really cute song by Connie Stevens and Ed Byrnes. I have a clip of them singing this on The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show. It is on a video tape I bought back in 1987 called - Dick Clark's Best Of Bandstand. I love these songs from the late 50's early 60's.
Thanks CCC. I wrote that because I figured some corporation would claim copyright on it and I wanted to be able to be given the opportunity to remove it before they yanked my account. And guess what? It did. But I've been allowed to keep the post.
this song is so silly it just makes me smile

Why would this offend anyone? If you were to take this down because of one person, I'd be offended.
