[@J-50s60smusic]

I love this song. The first time I am hearing it. Thanks for posting.

[@panosmyrianthis]

That was a very big hit back then, and thanks

B-Side songs from the 1960s beats anything today. Real music from a great era. PLEASE send me back in time. George Vreeland Hill

It MUST be possible to write evergreens like that that HAVEN´T been written yet. There must be a way. I´m trying to find it.

Who thought one day we'd think of the sixties as an innocent time.....love this song!

[@thesurfhotrodscene4060]

Great Gary Usher production with many famous studio musicians and Chuck Girard on lead vocal. The guys in the video are the touring Hondells with Richie Burns, Wayne Edwards, Randy Thomas & 1 more. All personal friends of Gary Usher.

[@consueloporras1620]

[@Angel9912221]

A great hit I have enjoyed for years!!

[@DeanMk1]

Thanks for posting this great old song. Too many years since I heard it.

RIP to 2 absolute entertainment legends in Dick Clark & Charlie O'Donnell!

[@jimdandy6240]

did they "pat down" the audience members for weapons at the door? ahhh ! the young,innocent, wonderful days of rock' n roll. I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY ! I'LL DIG IT TILL THE END !

[@mickeyl01]

But the lyrics are overtly sexist regardless of the era..they should've patted down the sensors for their insensitive cavalier attitude! Hahaaaaaaa Just kidding!

[@nuwavedave]

@@mickeyl01 Overtly SEXIST? Let me guess - You thought they were singin' "We got the best broads in any town, now". Not quite - they're singin', "We got the best RODS" (as in Hot Rods).

Great recording of this song, I also have another good version by the Ripchords.

[@evanholly3649]

Don’t think the rip chords ever did this, they did do hot rod usa

[@jimstrict-998]

The Surfaris did Hot Rod High, but without the organ-break.

[@BUSTER.BRATAMUS]

Awesome..

[@ildibildi53]

ETERNAL COOL!!!

[@gezzluvaduck]

[@CCHPOUNDER420]

I like the stance they take on losers in this song.

[@johnwaynesfoot]

Discogs lists Gary Usher and Roger Christian as the songwriters...

[@shyman99]

Excellent song for being the B side.

[@BrianLingam]

All we care about is the chip & dip.

[@jimstrict-998]

"Is the shiftin'-bit"...(gear-shifting,)

[@andrelakay4750]

They sound like The Beach Boys

[@ELVENGADOR858]

VERY NEAR LIKE SURFARIS RIP CHORDS THE KNIGHTS AND THE DAYTONAS

[@SLB161991]

Who were the members of The Hondells that are in this video?

[@recordguy4321]

Sharline Leeann i think Chuck Girrard was in this. Playing the music of course was the Wrecking Crew including Hal Blaine on drums and glen cambell on guitar

[@thesurfhotrodscene4060]

The touring Hondells here was Richie Burns, Wayne Edwards, Randy Thomas plus 1. The recording was made by GARY USHER and his troops including Chuck Girard on lead vocals.

[@secretidentitynetwork6218]

This obviously influenced the Beach Boys; they just changed the setting. Both are great!

[@onthegoldenline]

The lead singer looks like my local butcher.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

DONT GET ME WRONG LOVE THIS MUSIC BUT COULD THEY NOT TEACH THEM TO AT LEAST LIP SING BETTER.HOT ROD HIGH A GREAT SONG CHECK OUT THE SAFARIS VERSION TO.

[@thesurfhotrodscene4060]

Guess you mean the Surfaris which Gary Usher also produced on Decca.

[@mattezhackblip]

The Hondells recorded a few decent songs, if you ask me. Hot Rod High, Little Sidewalk Surfer Girl and Little Honda weren’t that bad at all.
