@BytteBob that's a very good observation. According to joemeekpage.info the translation was done by Lawrence Montague (= Lawrence "Larry" Yaskiel) at that time managing director of Vogue Schallplatten in Königswinter
I am going to try to write the lyrics down although I don't speak German so it will take a while.
DANKE! I just happened to find this and am THRILLED to hear it in German. Compiling a CD for my best friend and the Honeycombs "Can't Stop" and this song were her favorites. You've make someone VERY HAPPY!
This version is in the original key of C MAJOR , before Joe Meek speeded it up two semitones to D MAJOR , adding more power and urgency to the song allowing it to become the no. one hit ! Dennis D'ell still sounds amazing , a much underated vocalist !!

They should have sung 'ohh Liebling' instead of 'oh darling'. What were they thinking, honestly...

Did he say something about "Volkswagen"? LOL. Cool version, right up there with the Beatles' German recordings.
