Those old gals still ROCK! Go Bobettes!

I still think this is one of the defining rock and roll hits ever. It was simple yet carried the flavor and attitude of the 50's. This is truly one of the great tunes that hardly ever gets played on the so-called oldie stations.

Thanks,

One of the old guys.

I remember one of them saying they killed off Mr Lee because they were fed up with other groups ripping off their song.

Wow! I didnt even know it was a real song! I saw Claire and a friend of hers sing it on the Cosby show! And it was such a cute song I decided to youtube it to see if it was a real song! Cool

What blows my mind is that when Mr. Lee was recorded, the girls were aged 11-13.
