Grew up with Little Anthony and the Imperials playing on Oldies radio, and discovered EXO in my twenties. Now both worlds collide. I think I like it~

[@arzhakiemagine]

Ah woooooo~

[@jozhua5]

Nice that you made the connection between Little Anthony and EXO.

[@pauleypavillion6088]

LOL i remember singing this song as a little boy back in 1962 then when this was played over the AM radio station inside my dad's 1955 chevy and at home on the 45rpm record player. Wow, decades later to today, when first seeing this video and hearing it now, this song eerily brings back the little boy in me and some memories of the country that I used to live in Northern California, Terminus/Lodi area.

[@aloevera420]

So cool! How old are you now?

[@laurencopenhaver5366]

Hey Susie ojita and I used to sit in her dad's old station wagon and listen to the radio. You didn't need the keys to turn it on her brother later became a Yankee

[@materials1000]

I remember that I heard the song playing from an AM radio as well. It was in Taiwan when I was young. I am 65 now. Love from Taiwan.

[@jasontimothywells9895]

Are you still sucking wind 🌬️ my friend ? Let me know

[@virtualenvironmentfellowsh6671]

I remember on the school bus, and at recess all the girls would sing this with a special clap Clapping their own hands, knees, and eachothers hands. Had to be 1994/95, and this is my first time hearing the original song 🥴

[@k.d.5603]

Here after Lana Del Rey released A & W, Feb 2023 Just listened to the original inspiration from 1956, (Shimmy Shimmy) Ko Ko Wop

[@Jocantral]

I guess I am the only old timer here because I loved Little Anthony and the Imperials. And I used to run home after school to watch the Dick Clark (American Bandstand ) Show. I don't who or what Exo or Sehun is. I suppose it's nice that everything old is new again. :)

[@jeffreyblocker7371]

I don't know what the hell it is either. I just know good music when I hear it. I'm 38 years old 🤷‍♂️

[@margaretmartin9244]

Just the same for me. I was blessed to see them do those in 2007 in Johnson City, NY at a small venue. Did all their songs. Sammy Strain. I love you forever 💛 💓

[@terrysmith9501]

Exo and Sehun are Kpop singers☺

[@arzhakiemagine]

It's okay if you don't know them. As music enthusiast (K-Pop inside), I was so surprised knowing that EXO inspired by the vintage masterpiece. But then I can say that both of them are cool.

[@motownfan3]

Jo....you are aren't the only "old timer" here I was eight when this "CLASSIC SONG" came out in 1958 or 1959....... Like you I have no idea who or what Exo or Sehun is ??? I just love this song !!!!!!!!
