This version charted a few weeks ahead of the more recognized one by Johnny Rivers. It's from the US TV show "Secret Agent" which was shown in Britain under the title "Danger Man." That led to "The Prisoner," one of the smartest shows ever and a cult classic. The Ventures made a career out of instrumental covers of current hits, and they became so popular in Japan that club DJ's had patrons up on stage to sing along. One could say these guys helped create karaoke.
