I was 12 when this song came out. Of course I remember it because there was no songs that were using Fred (my name) as their subject matter. Great Song!!!!!
Ray & I were friend in a butchers shop when we were 16/17 and had many a laugh down the cellar where we worked most of the time, ah the good old days.

That must've been a massive backseat, or they were very small girls. 1959 was, of course, before the days of compulsory seatbelt wearing and Operation Yewtree.
This original version is great but I still prefer The Lana Sisters & Al Saxon's version which came out later that same year in 1959 - They slightly improved the melody and the backing vocals are stronger - Also, Dusty Springfield is on the track!! Enjoy
I'm an old music fanatic and am only 13, have a record player and have this on vinyl (among thousands of others). Ahh, this generation don't explore enough good music..
