Ernie Maresca - Shout! Shout! Knock yourself out

fuck you

[JbrickM100A]

This was the first LP I ever, ever bought. Remember it like it was yesterday, it was on 8/8/62 in San Fernando, CA at Bob's record store. It cost me $3.98 and with tax $4.14 (tax in CA was 4% in 1962). I was 13 years old. Still have it of course. There is no way anybody can't stay still listening to this classic. Oh, and Rover TCB, you uploaded this song on my birthday, Jan, 29th. Ernie never really made it big as a singer but oh what a talent when you consider the great songs he wrote.

It took a while to find this one. My favorite from '62. I was 8yrs. old, loved the song. Played it on my little player so ;many times I got spanked. I still have a limp from the spanking. (just kidding). This was truly my first rock-n-roll song. It kicks ass!

[MmeJulll227]

Hey person who disliked this how could you hate this song its is flipping awesome ????

[TJCATLOVER]

Cool Song.!!!!!!!!

[Kauwhaka]

"Well Mary's in the corner and she's DOING THE TWIST!!!!"

[ernestryles]

@Kauwhaka i think its while not well. either way great song

[ForeverYoung58]

It's literally impossible not to move your body around when this is playing. What a great record. If this doesn't get you moving, you're beyond help. A truly joyful groove.

[SEANFIR]

He was a great writer, but for those who think he didn't get a fair shake, he actually was a rather weak vocalist! Even in this record he only sings a few lines... when he was offered a contract with Seville, his words were to the effect of "am I supposed to sing?" but as we can see, he was able to overcome his talent deficit by writing and producing a hit anyway!

[ProudScotsmanRex]

WOW a great old tune. Good today in 2010. Must have knocked people out back then

[pgermani2008]

This song just makes me want to move. Bring it back!!!

[80sVideoLord]

my band is adding this to the show - we do 60s and nothing else!

[groofoot]

My dad bought this record just days after he graduated from high school in 1962. About 12 years later, when I was 3, I started listening to my parents' old 45s, having no clue what the hell they even were, and this one captured my fancy from first listen. Ernie took this song to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100; it's great that he did get to have one big hit without being in the shadows as 'only' the composer.

[jimwalsh2001]

Some folks believe rock 'n' roll never got better than this; they may be right...

[soccergrl961]

i absolutely love this song i keep on playing it over and over after i found it on Britain's got talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[harptone55]

LOVE IT!!!

[ntg625]

Ernie gets no credit for his talent - this was the man who wrote "Runaround Sue" (to which he alludes in the verse). He derserved better fame than this single, obscure solo hit.

There is nothing better than listening to this on the "reverb" setting of an early 60's GM convertible. Cheers, Ernie!

[TheCrazycrayola]

when i was 5 did dance to this when i used to take dance class! but now im doing gymnastics and im 10 in a half im turning 11 in july

[TL250Rider]

This man could write Music.

Erine wrote the Wonderer.

and Runaround Sue.

Great Listing.

[arikthefreak]

Worst sax solo EVER. (Groovy tune other than that)

[TheBlueoverthemoon]

This is the ultimate great party record.I have on a vinyl 45 "Mary Jane" another fantastic record of his.

[RubberDuckySqueek]

Love this song, iits brill. Is this the song that the Cheeky monkeys Danced to in their audition on Britain's Got Talent last in 2008??

[LilaMae99]

Yep.

[reborn5310]

[miketheshanmanmangan]

[antzam614]

Jolly good tune!

[llibnorhcop]

I believe that Ernie and Dion wrote some songs together.

[cgerbyw]

this is the business!

love it

[Retromaniaco]

Muy buena

[imnoebert]

can you post Mary Jane by Ernie. I once had the record on Seville label. Don't know if it was considered a flip side because it never charted on Billboard Hot 100.
