Got me. I'd (gladly) forgotten that one.

I actually have owned a copy of this song for a few years, after my mother introduced me to it years ago. It was always an amusing one, though I think one of the best versions was the one on the ShaNaNa show. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a link to the copy, though I did a little looking. It's really neat if you can find it.

I knew right off the bat, thanks to a K-Tel record set that ran constant ads during late night TV.

I was going to guess "Polka Dot Bikini" but there was too much material involved in the picture.
I had not heard this one and was about to dismiss the performer as another flash-in-the-pan pop starlet. But, a search shows that Miss Stevens has led a pretty full life and has accomplished quite a bit over the years.

I remember when it was a hit. I guess that dates me.

Just a fun little ditty. 😊

It took me a Minuit to think of the lyrics, even though our local Oldies station plays this song often.

According to Wikipedia, she was 13 when she recorded this.
