It's not like the New York Dolls never gave credit to them. They admit that they like the Shangri-las. Johnny Thunders covers this song on his solo album, So Alone.
That lead singer is terrible. She's not talented AT ALL. There's GOT to be a reason they were big, It wasn't that lead singer's vocals, I'll tell ya that.
Also, "Tight Tapered" pants " might well be "tight PEGGED pants" as I well remember asking Mom to "Peg" my jeans since all the ones you could buy "in the day" were quite baggy in the legs.....SO uncool.
I never realized it but VV Brown nicely used the first line of the song 'You best believe i'm in love. L-O-V-E"!
I had never heard that part of this song before, nice to know she got her idea from this song!!!

I was like... why does this sound so familiar... and I realized that Nikki & Rich sampled this song! I like this original much better.

The way of saying "Close, very very close" makes me crazy. It just sounds too hot to handle and I'm bloody straight!

Since you asked:
After "Oh boy what a prize" the twins reply again "tell me more"
After "tight tapered pants', the reply "he's untrue"
After "high button shoes" the reply " he's untrue"
After "he's always looking like he's got the blues" the reply "he's untrue"
