From American Graffiti

THE HAPPENINGS had the biggest hit with this song in 1966, but the first version in 1959 was by the Tempos, and it is their version that was in American Graffiti.  Below are the Happenings because their recording is better.

   Okay, here I am 6 years later( and older) and just finished comparing the two versions of this iconic tune. Yes indeed, The Happenings had a better recording, plus it had a good beat and you can dance to it. Thank you for once again posting this end-of-summer favorite.
