I love this(original)song & I love Leslie Gore.....the remake is good, but the original has that innocence & flair very difficult to top. Also, there's a part in the original where Leslie's double tracking vocals("maybe then he'll turn to me") is just magic.
LESLEY WAS A POP SINGER...BRENDA SANG WITH MORE EMOTION BRENDA LEE IS THE BEST FEMALE SINGER OF THIS ERA.......IWAS BORN IN THIS ERA IHEARD THE BEST SINGERS.....BRENDA IS FIRST....CONNIE SECOND ....LESLEY THIRD....ALL TEEN QUEENS
it tickles me to see that I wasnt the only one who wondered all these years what the background vocalists were singing...what a beautiful voice she has.,...I am so happy to have had her music to grow up with...
I could be wrong but I always thought the background vocal was shacK-a doo-la. Sounds more like a "K" than a "G" on this version. Whatever it is, that's the part of the song that hooked me when it was a hit on the radio in the autumn og 1963 just prior to JFK's assasination.
Surprisingly, this is a good remake by Lesley. It seems that a lot of her other songs that she has redone don't seem to have as much energy out into them, but this was pretty good. This one and her remake of her hit "That the Way Boys Are" are her two best ones.
Usually I don't care for remakes, but this one is really,really great. Lesley, you are just the best, ever, & the memories live in me, Forever& Ever. Wolfsky9
Pretty good for a remake. Lots of remakes don't even come close. I have the cd set with the picture used at 0:44, which has the original hits. Again my complements!!
Better than brenda lee

Love this song but always wondered what the male backup singers were saying. Sounds like "shack-a-doo-la."
