Its originally from dels 1966 lp ' this is my bag' where he did a heap of covers, then he did a killer cover of the stones under my thumb, he rocked outward and onward, long live del.

I saw Del Shannon do a gig at the Fresno Fair's Paul Paul Amphitheater on October 17, 1982 (my 23rd birthday), performing some of his greatest hits, (including his 1961 signature hit, "Runaway". He was one of the featured stars (along with The Coasters and Freddie "Boom-Boom" Cannon) at the Dick Clark Rock-N-Roll Revue (hosted by Dick Clark) This is a very good cover and just as good as Crispian St. Peter's original. R.I.P. Del Shannon(1934-1990) and Crispian St. Peters(1939-2010).

@MrHawkeye104 it does sound like "Runaway", though vaguely, but Del Shannon's other hit, "Handy Man", is very similar in lyrics to Crispian's "Pied Piper."

@mordrid84 the changing times are the originals and the band members steve duboff and artie kornfield wrote the song.
This song is very catchy! This is one of the songs that play during intermission in the play I'm in. Thanks for uploading it!

Hi drkwolf311,
You should add more to the tags as to indicate this song covers crispian st. peters's the pied piper. It would be cool!
BTW, thanks for posting Del Shannon's version of this song. Its been about 15 years ago I last heard this version when I lost my tape cassette of him.
