This song was written by Wayne Cochran and released by Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders in 1963 but with limited success. When it was covered by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers just a year later, it was a smash hit. The song was loosely based on a real incident. When Pearl Jam covered the song in 1998, it became their biggest hit.
Thanks go out to Barbie for her collaboration.
