What's up with Dion in 1961? How come he slut-shames poor Runaround Sue, yet celebrates the same male behavior as The Wanderer. I smell a Daily Beast think piece coming up!!

By the way, General Johnson of the Chairmen of the Board ("Give Me Just a Little More Time") was in the Showmen. Not sure, but I think he's singing both songs.

Thought the pop songs would split so many ways that Coltrane would win easily. But I guess "Stand by Me" is pretty revered.
