One of my all-time faves, a song by Del Shannon that every beginning rock and roll band just needed to learn. It topped the charts for four weeks in the spring of 1961 and had one of the most unique instrumental breaks ever, played by Max Crook on a custom-built keyboard he called a Musitron. Tom Petty directly referenced this song in "Runnin' Down A Dream." ("Me and Del were singin' little runaway...") Just. WOW.
