Trick ,'First Date'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Oh Hec, you're a god. Especially since I just returned from an unsuccessful excursion to Borders & B&N. Not that I expected to find it, necessarily-- just hoped I'd get lucky.
After having talked about the song all day, I can't get it out of my head, and I'd love it as well, if possible.
Oh Hec, you're a god.
Undeified. After two plus hours of downloading it won't unpack. The hunt goes on.
Of course, there is a way to nab the music off of YouTube if we get desperate.
I hope you'll send it to Brawk -- it's one of my favorite Spector productions and should be more famous than it is.
Okay. I found the recording on a Phil Spector boxed set that's sold in the UK. Just ordered it from amazon.uk (luckily, wasn't that expensive) and when I get it, I'll upload it to Brawk.
I know, I know... obsessed much?
Obsessed AND generous - perfect.

Sweet! I have to admire our relentlessness and single-minded pursuit.
Thanks, Joe!
I'm listening to it right now AIFG.
Sorry about your turntable, Joe.
Yay Joe Boucher! Good to see you!
The song has been stuck in my head, too, so I am glad to have it.
OMG, thanks Joe!
I just girl grouped around the house with it cranked high explaining to Abby the importance of girl groups and Phil Spector and their continuing influence on pop music. She just looked at me and said "Another life lesson, right?"
(And of course, because I'm just this obsessed, I'm now trying to figure out the song's original copyright.)
ETA 1963 for anyone who's, you know, insane. Like me.
