single, 1961
Written by Allen Toussaint
I'm familiar with the Warren Zevon version, but not so much with the original release, from Ernie K-Doe, a New Orleans R&B singer best known for "Mother -in-Law." This one doesn't have Zevon's chorus of "awww!" when he won't reveal the girl's name, and instead has a bass voice echo, "No, no." There's also a sultry sax and a drum break which liven things up.
