"Mr. Dieingly Sad" #17 10/8/1966

Here's the biggest hit by the Critters. The band's core members honed their musical chops while attending Villanova University, until several of them joined the military. Vocalist and lead guitarist Don Ciccone volunteered for the Air Force, then was part of the 70's incarnation of the Four Seasons in their "Who Loves You" and "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" days. He also toured with Tommy James and the Shondells. Video is from "Where The Action Is."
