The Four Preps were always looking for ways to eliminate their competition.
1) More Money For You and Me - 1961 #17
2) The Big Draft - 1962 #61
On my LP these are from live stage performances, with some talk before the songs. I've dropped that.

I actually heard this on an oldies station. In this era, you would hear pop standards, r&b songs, instrumentals and novelty tunes within the same hour. It was probably a great era. I'd like to think so. As far as this single, it made Top 20, and made fun of such artists as the Platters, Kingston Trio, Dion and the Belmonts, the Four Freshman and the Fleetwoods. They're lampooning of the Hollywood Arglyes was unnecessary, however, since that group was pretty much a one-hit wonder.

Thank you SOOO MUCH! I have been searching for these classics for so long to share with my kids (who are now grown and were thinking I was making up the stories!) Thank God for modern technology that allows us to share the memories, Thank God for the people that post these classics so that we can share, and thank God for the talented artists who created such indelible memories.

This clip showed how talented these guys were....they sounded very much like the groups they were impersonating. One of the most underrated groups from their day....they were oustanding.

This was a good novelty song that was a spoof on many of the popular groups of that era. They made a few of them over the years. The Four Preps had a few big hits--26 miles,Big Man, Dreamy Eyes but they were more recognizes as popular circuit entertainers for night clubs, Vegas Casinos and Cruises. They were enjoyable to watch. Interesting fact that the lead singer Bruce Belland was one of the regular characters on the Ozzie&Harriet Show. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine.
