Gary Lewis and the Playboys began by auditioning for a gig at Disneyland without dropping his famous dad's name, and wound up playing regularly at the Tomorrowland pavilion. His mom (Jerry's wife) might have pulled a few strings to land a record deal. The skill was lacking, so their producer, Snuff Garrett, went in late at night and re-did the music using LA's famed Wrecking Crew studio musicians (Leon Russell, Carol Kaye, Hal Blaine, etc.) to where the original parts weren't recognizable. All it did was land the group a #1 record.
