"Alley Oop" #1 7/16/1960

A #1 from July 1960 by the Hollywood Argyles, a studio group that took their name from Argyle Street in L.A., located a block from the famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine. Reportedly everyone at the session was drunk out of their gourds. Their one hit was based on a popular comic strip caveman and written by Dallas Frazier, who also wrote "Elvira" and "There Goes My Everything." The brains behind the record, Gary S. Paxton, also produced "Monster Mash."
