It's sort of stuck in my head now ... that was a great dance song back then.

I still sing it, too. I used to sing it to my girl when she was little, that and several others. She grew up loving the girl groups, so many were just amazing.

It's a great song now @SoX. The one thing about our music is that it may roam around in our head, but it's always there. We know it, love it and can pull it up whenever we want it.

@Preds ...

You are so right ... I didn't realize it was played in the movie Full Metal Jacket ... now I'll have to get it and watch.

I sure remember the song but not the group. My husband knew right away.

I love the girl groups of the 60's and have many songs on my phone, including this one. I am surprised that she was not older. May she rest in peace.

Sad news. I enjoy listening to the Dixie Cups, the song Iko Iko is one of my favorites.

Rest In Peace.
