 From 1965 comes a mover by The Grasshoppers. This is their first release and was originally put out on the SUNSHINE label. The tune is based on the earlier hit by The Royal Teens “Short Shorts”. It got enough airplay that WARNER BROS. picked it up. An interesting note is that Benjamin Orr was a member of the band. He later became famous in the ’80s group The Cars.
