Okay, here’s how I got to this one. I wanted to find a song that would somehow tie into Obama’s “Romnesia” riff (see previous post); something about forgetting (a lost cause, by the way). So, I went to the google, and put in “songs about forgetting” and this is one of the songs that came up. Which is quite strange, because it’s not really about forgetting at all, but maybe the person compiling the list forgot that. Anyway, it’s a fun song, though certainly not the greatest song that’s ever come down the pike. This is the version I first heard, by a British one hit wonder band called The Searchers.
But I learn from youtube that in fact the song was originally by a group called the Clovers. There’s no video available, but here it is, and in my humble opinion it’s far superior.
