Roomates did a great cover of this about 20 years ago - made it more of a New York street corner sound.

First doo-wop to trouble the British charts I believe.

May be 'pastiche' - but most of these blokes were 50's R&B/Doo Wop veterans

A "nonsense" song designed to sound like English. It's a proper foot-tapoer anyway.

Sometimes called the first ever rap song. Copy of it fell into my hands a couple of years ago in a bundle of records.
Think its early 70s but he used to sing rock'n'roll italiano back in the 50s - had an album of his.
I'm sure i've probably posted this before by Clem Sacco

Picked this one up on a compilation yesterday - great poppy/doo-woppy song from 1959.
