I recorded this and the flip side on a reel-to-reel recorder in 1957. We had two things to keep us occupied that summer, make it 3, the pool, the movies and sock hops.. We'd have a hop at our house and we'd keep the records other kids brought till noon the next day so we could record them. Also Dungaree Doll by Eddie Fisher and Teenage Crush by Tommy Sands. Never got to find a copy of these. Once I paid $11 for a copy of "Gone" by Ferlin Husky so I could get the flip side "Missing Persons"!
Fantastic! I was raised with this song. It was the 3rd 45 RPM record I bought and still have.

More original than the later, toned - down lyrics on the RCA 45 or the old video.
A true Rockabilly classic!
