I couldn't think of a better band than The Gories (except maybe The Dirtbombs) to cover this lesser known track by Johnny Otis (technically, The Johnny Otis Show with guest vocals by Marci Lee), originally done in 1959. Normally I don't get too excited about covers that stick really close to the original (why bother then?), but I like this one. It doesn't even sound updated, just a great garage band from Detroit doing a respectful, if not original, cover of a forgotten single.
