Being a child of pop media culture, I always thought this song was original with The Beatles (1963). Silly me. Some dude by the name of Barrett Strong made it Motown's first hit way back in 1959. Back then my biggest (and only) monetary concern was raising seven cents so I could buy a Popsicle at the corner store.
Via ... and several butcher's aprons and blog-train.net.
I recently downloaded that song, only the version by The Flying Lizards, which was just weird enough to be satisfying.
ReplyDeleteI saw that one as well. It was hard to decide which one to post. I went with this one because, well, history, durn it!
