Music for submarine-race watching, as New York DJ Murray the K would have put it. In other words, a make-out classic, and the #1 single of 1959. Columbia found a way to tap the teen audience with an un-teen sound (save for those piano triplets) by associating with the racy Troy Donahue-Sandra Dee movie.
