I am ashamed to admit that I thought of this song because of Tom Delay. I saw some footage of him making a fool of himself on a TV dance show, which he was doing to this tune.
This song is arguably the greatest song by any one hit wonder. At least I think the Troggs were one hit wonders. I dimly recall that they might have had a follow up minor record, but really this was it.
Imagine my surprise to find that they are still alive, kicking and performing, with this 2005 version being the only live version I could find on youtube. I’ve added a version from the 60s, which probably qualifies as a proto-music video.
