Bobby Day, started as a member of The Hollywood Flames, and he was part of the group when they had their #11 hit “Buzz-Buzz-Buzz”. However, he also started doing solo work and by far his biggest hit was this song which climbed to #2. Day releases several other singles, none did better than #41, he also performed as part of the duo Bob and Earl, but that effort didn’t produce any real hits. He did have some success with songwriting, in addition to this song, which was redone by, among other artists, Michael Jackson who took it to #1, he also wrote “Over and Over” a hit by The Dave Clark Five in ’65, and “Little Bitty Pretty One”, which was made popular three different times by Thurston Harris in 1957, Clyde McPhatter in 1962, and the Jackson Five in 1972.

If Ned Flanders wrote a song -- tweetadeedley deet.
