Monday morning, the kids in Bristol take over. I had the 45 RPM record of this when I was in grade school.
You may recognize the MC as the Dovells’ fellow Philadelphian, Chubby Checker.
Bristol refers to Bristol, PA. And what performers wouldn’t kill for an enthusiastic audience as in the video? The youth, the sheer energy…LOL.

Well-a, Well-a, Well-a Thanks to YouTuber jim rackitts
