The Goodies recorded this song and SOPHISTICATED BOOM BOOM in 1964. The Shangri-Las recorded these two songs in 1965. Both groups recorded for Red Bird/Blue Cat Records. George Morton produced both songs.

@tregaldiva Wow! Your mom. What a history. Fantastic. Would you be able to email to me aswell? I am putting up a comparison of the goodies and shangri las version of this song on my channel.

I've got a bit of the inside scoop AND the original press photo of The Goodies that I'd like to get to snapcracklepop so it can be posted with this. My mom was the lead singer, and it was so awesome to come across this! Thx for posting!

[ScriptWorker]

Agreed.

Great fun! What a fab song. I found some news re this song and the Shangs. That Shadow actually tried to release both groups as a single at the same time in different terratories but Redbird didn't agree so the Goodies (originaly the Bunnies) got the single and the Shangs got the album release on the day. The Goodies didn't get anywhere though and.. well we all know what happened to the Shangri Las. Thanks for the rare post.

this song.

There is a great new version of the song by
