"My Girl Sloopy" #50 9/18/1965

This song, with a slightly altered arrangement and title and different performers, would soon be #1, but that's another convoluted story. We have a two-fer; the '65 version by Canadian act Little Caesar and the Consuls, and the original from '64 by the Vibrations, who were once the Marathons ("Peanut Butter") and before that were the Jay Hawks (not the indie band) who did "Stranded In The Jungle" first. This qualifies as a hot mess.

Howard Stern always claimed his dad Ben was the studio engineer on the Cadets version of "Stranded..."
