I like this a lot. Yeah it’s a bit aww-shucks (“she’s much too nice to rearrange” indeed) but appropriately its got a lot of forward momentum. Cute little piece of early 60s teen pop.

It reminds me of Robert Herrick!

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free
O how that glittering taketh me!

In reference to the version of the song on youTube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=PPM5khluZWE – I like the sax and I also feel that the piano keys in the background (don’t know what that kind of piano work in the background is called) which I think does a lot for the song.

A “tease” in 1961… a ho-hum today….good for a nostalgic moral benchmark.

This makes me think of ‘Back To The Future’, as it’s the kind of thing that would be performed by the loser band before Marty turns up and invents Chuck Berry. Awful.
