  • Back in 1965 I thought this guy was really annoying, with the high-pitched voice and the irritating breathy puffing he did on this record.

    However, the beat does at least give the Gazzari Dancers in the background a good go-go workout.

  • Never heard of this guy, but had to listen to this tune after reading about it in Steven Tyler's book.

  • This MC sounds orgasmic. -- and so does Whitcomb -- what's up with that?

  • I watched this video on Shindig in 1965!!

  • Wow...I loved Ian Whitcomb back then and I love him even more today! I'm going to pick up your new book. Cheers!

  • Ian Whitcomb today is best known not as a singer, but as a pop-music historian.

    He wrote a book titled "After The Ball", which traces the history of popular music from the late 1800's into the 1970's, including a chapter on his own short time as a recording star.

  • I have this single 45, fo sale. with B side: Poor But Honest, let me know if anybody wants.

  • Anybody else notice that when he sings "C'mon and do the jerk with me" the dancer behind him actually starts doing the jerk? Back in those days, people really took lyrics seriously!

  • A real 'fun' song from the summer of 1965.-----Danny

  • My parents have several 45 rpms by Ian Whitcomb: This Sporting Life, You Turn Me On, and Nervous. They even have an LP by him. I've always enjoyed listening to his music, but I didn't really know what he looked like or how he performed. Thanks to YouTube (and you), now I know! Looks like he simply enjoyed his popularity and had a lot of fun. Thanks for posting.
