Love Billy Fury. Thanks for posting this video and song. Billy was so underrated in his lifetime. He was a really talented singer and songwriter and a gentle trusting person. Billy always missed but never completely gone. RIP BILLY.

@5151emily a pleasure.

This is odd - they eliminated the original lyrics: "You hurt me like a bee - a bumblebee, a EVIL bumblebee!" Which is how LaVerne Baker sang it first. But they retained the title, even though it's now meaningless.

@hebneh Very true, they only kept the reference to 'honey'.

Hey...I found this one! I've been through your video treasures many times, Sir, but I still haven't found all it's pearls... Never heard this version before, but loved it just the same. This song is awesome! Thank you, Sir!

Some of the words are a little different, but the music is the same as the version done by "The Searchers" 2 years latter. What a great post, thank you.
