The, in my opinion, best version of "Mony Mony" by Tommy James and the Shondells

:eek: Uh...I'm pretty sure I didn't realize that Billy Idol's version of this isn't the original. He didn't even bother to change it much.
 
Don't know if I've ever used any Kelly Joe Phelps in a song thread. Local Northwest guy. (I think O got ahead of N so I think I'm okay here)

I saw that awhile back. As you've probably picked up, I love stuff like this. I knew Riders on the Storm for a long time before I ever heard Ghost Riders in the Sky, and thought that latter was reminiscent of the former. It still had never occurred to me that they were thinking of Ghost Riders when the put the song together.

The Billy Idol version was probably played at every high school dance I attended. There was a lewd call and response we would all yell at each other somewhere in the middle of the song. I have no idea how that got started, but it was a thing. Ah, youth.

Wow, the Billy Idol version came out when I was in college. I just listened to it, and you’re right, it sounds just like the original. In my altered state, I probably thought I was hearing Tommy James in college.
