The area around Spirit Lake and Milford, Iowa wasn't exactly known as a center of popular culture. A local band called Dee Jay and the Runaways knew that, so several of the guys built their own recording studio. They shopped around an original song and landed a deal with a Chicago-based label. Though it just missed the Top 40 nationally, the song, based on the children's book character, got a lot of airplay in a few larger cities like Minneapolis, Baltimore, and so on. Not bad for small town rock and roll. Great organ solo here.
