The contemporary Gilbert Youth Survey conducted nationally in April 1965 placed this song at number 9 in its chart one week. Due to the lyrics, which are filled with a sense of longing and uncertainty, it is, in a sense, a contrasting piece to Wilson's "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)".

"Lollipop" - Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs - from "At the Beach" 1965, first released by Ronald & Ruby in 1958 - Wikipedia:  The song originated when Julius Dixon was late for a songwriting session with Beverly Ross. He explained that his daughter had gotten a lollipop stuck in her hair, and that had caused him to be late. Ross was so inspired by the word "lollipop" that she sat down at the piano and produced a version of the song on the spot. Beverly Ross recorded a demo of the song with Ronald Gumm, a 13-year old neighbor of Dixon, under the name Ronald & Ruby. Ross' mother insisted that she use a pseudonym for safety reasons, because they were an interracial duo.[3]
RCA got hold of it and Dixon, who owned the master and had produced the demo, agreed to let them release it. Ronald and Ruby's version rose up the chart reaching #20.

Yo La Tengo, getting ready to surf the Hudson

The Feelies

See below for scan credits.

The first 4 songs are in celebration of the newly released biography on Yo La Tengo, "Big Day Coming."  The book is a must if you like the YLT, Hoboken or baseball.  What a nice surprise!

This mix is among the most incoherent, rambling and unfuzzy of all the mixes, though that's not necessarily a bad thing.  In my own way, it's my tribute (mostly) to YLT.

Enjoy!
