single, 1964?
Written by J.P. Richardson
Despite their name, the Nashville Teens were English. Here, they totally retool the Bopper's big hit and give it a glorious British Invasion garage rock makeover. They use the telephone call conceit sparingly, upping the tempo and bringing in guitars, hard-hitting drums, and a blues-rock tone akin to Them or the Animals. The piano is still there, giving it a boogie-woogie aspect, but the delivery is all rock snarl.
