Songfacts®:

  • This song bears such a strong resemblance to The Beatles' "She Loves You" and "From Me to You" that disk jockeys in New York took to calling the artist "Bobby Veetle" when they played this song. That was, however, the point: Vee even covered those song on the album, which was his attempt to emulate the British invasion sound. >>
