 The interweaving of intricate vocal harmony and the liberating effect of summer vacation would become a predominantly west coast theme a few years later, but this quartet from Massachusetts set the irresistible ground rules in 1958. With nasal petulance, lead singer Serena Jameson flipped off the restrictions of school and bopped into two months of sun-drenched playtime with rebellious abandon ("I'm sorry teacher, but zip your lip"). A rare teen-themed 45 for Epic, it became a Top 40 staple each June, as Serena asked the perennial rock 'n' roll question, "Are you comin' or are you ain't?" Who could say no?
