Song 826: This week the playlist applauds Hang On Sloopy by The McCoys, written by Wes Farrell and Bert Berns, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Soon after the Fab Four rocked my world in February of 1964, their fellow British Invaders started catching my attention as well, and at the end of the summer of the following year, just before I started ninth grade, another British quartet began encouraging a sailboating female to maintain connections. I really liked singing along with the chorus of that anthem whenever it came rising from a nearby radio speaker. For a few previous years, I had felt obsessed by a female classmate who I hoped to eventually embrace passionately. She lived in a very good part of town in early 1965, but then her family moved to California, so I never did get to feel her hair ever hang down on me.
