I really liked that at the time, corny as it is, and still do. BTW, when I found that clip, it dawned on me that this was the first time I had ever heard it in stereo.
Wiki also informs me that the song was co-written and produced by the great Bob Crewe, of Four Seasons and Mitch Ryder fame.
In any case, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the song's significance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Essay Question.

The weird mix of rock & roll with the military,
See you in Iran kids!

That organ sounds like it's from the surf-monster flicks from that time. Or the Hammond store down at the mall... some poor guy had to sit there all day long playing "Moon River". Not quite Rick Wakeman.
Hearing this song again for perhaps the first time in six decades reminded me of a saying - search shows me it is the opening sentence of the 1953 novel "The Go-Between" by the British author L.P. Hartley. "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." And yet, as Jerry Weinberg said in "Secrets of Consulting" - "Things are the way they are because they got that way" - conditions and decisions of the past have shaped the world we currently inhabit. I came across a clip of Pat Benatar performing "We Belong Together" at the age of 72 - the poster said "She's not done yet - and neither are you." Not yet.
Wow. I remember that song and I don't think I've heard it in 60 years. Great melody. I have a bunch of girl group sounds collections, but I don't think it was on any of the compilations I've heard. So the easy guess would be pop songs regarding military, but I'm kinda hoping you've got something more twisted in mind.
It's not military pop songs, but come to think of it that would be a pretty cool one. 😎
From the more info on YouTube:
"Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound "
Which may explain why it's the first time you heard it in stereo.
I hope tomorrow's question isn't Songs We Want to Hear remastered by AI
Seems unlikely. 😎
My older sister loved that song, so I heard it a lot around the house. I hated it - the "Naa-aavy" irritated me no end.
umm best/worst songs by blonde bombshells maybe...

No, but I may do that one in the future as well. 😎
Hit songs by high school students?
