Another one-hit wonder, this time by the Capitols with music provided by the moonlighting Funk Brothers (Motown's house band) recording for a different label. The Jerk was a dance of the day, and this record was inspired by a popular local variation in Detroit called the Pimp Jerk. The song title was changed because "pimp" wasn't going to fly with radio programmers. How times have changed.
