The original was by the Four Deuces, titled 'W-P-L-J' ... you can hear it at nydoowop.com --- click 'Fast 1' in left column ... and then, click on this gem, the 10th tune from the top.
This masterpiece was originally recorded at Ray Dobard's Music City records in Berkeley CA around 1956- Legend has it that there was a huge number of takes before they were happy with it.

I've never heard a bad version of this song. That says a lot about the strenght of the song.

Framzoid, I think it is by The Four Deuces, not the Drifters.

Zappa didn't write it....was a '50's song by the Drifters...but Frank did a nice version...
