You're right Rob.  Danny and the Juniors.  I love Sha Na Na too, especially their version of "Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love?"

Don't remember Sink the Biscmarck though, sorry.

Johhny Horton had a U.S. hit with Sink The Bismark in 1960. Also famous for hitting the charts with Battle Of New Orleans & North To Alaska.

Thanks. Rod.  I still don't remember the song, but I love North to Alaska.

Who sang "These Arms of Mine?"

I was thinking of this version by the late, great Otis Redding, Rod.

Ah yes, Otis was a great singer indeed & much loved over here too.

Now then, who sang "Sweetie Pie"?

Stumped me again, Rod.  But then again, I'm such a young thing.....Tongue out

I do remember there's a lyric in the old standard, "I've Got A Crush On You," sweetie pie.....The latest version (I think) was from Linda Ronstadt with the Nelson Riddle orchestra.

Who sang "The End of Our Road?"

My time to be stumped. Eddie Cochran sang "Sweetie Pie". He was in the movie "The Girl Can't Help It" and sadly died in a car crash in England on his way to catch a 'plane home to the U.S.  Had many fans over here.
