Peggy Lee had the first hit with this in 1958; Elvis had a very good remake as well in 1960. Today's tune is the McCoys version, with a slightly different arrangement that sounded suspiciously like their previous "Hang On Sloopy." Guess what? I got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!!

What about Little Willie John's version from 1956?
Correct-a-mundo. His version was a #1 R&B hit in 1956. He also did "Leave My Kitten Alone" which the Beatles covered early on and sat unreleased for over 30 years.
