This week we're listening to Huey "Piano" Smith & The Clowns 1958 hit "Don't You Just Know It" - an ebullient call-and-response rocker that's also a Goofy Great! The Fendermen's 1960 cover gives the song some Midwestern hillbilly hyuks and Cramp-y guitar. The song then crossed some ponds when Casey Jones & The Governors added the tune to their repertoire and changed the title to "Don't Ha Ha!" But they did! Oh, and Screaming Lord Sutch adds to the pandemonium and it's even produced by Joe Meek! It's fast and energetic. Finally, The Kingsmen slop the song up in their inimitable frat style in 1965 - you could have guessed! Bonus BDA version by Jimmy Jones & Little Eva - you can't lose with the stuff we use!
