Wow, what a different sound! Weird that Bill Haley's version, itself almost just a remake of their own Rock This Joint albeit with different lyrics, suits it so much more. Still, the little jazzy solo on this one is pretty nice in an almost Christmas muzak on speed kind of way.

Interesting and not as terrible as advertized; more a "sweater-crowd" version, as if the Lettermen had decided to "get real gone one time" :-)
Good groove and shimmer from the drummer, and you definitely can twist to this...
The thing is, once you hear Bill H and the boys, it does pale some by comparison.
But thank you for posting; a real piece of musical history here.
