Why it is here
- The song first broke as a demo tape that Boston stations WCOZ and WBCN put into rotation in 1977, months before its official release, becoming one of the stations' most requested songs. source
- The opening riff was borrowed from the Ohio Express's "Yummy Yummy Yummy," and its own riff was later copied by Fountains of Wayne for "Stacy's Mom." source
- It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, and hearing it in a grocery store led Weezer's Rivers Cuomo to choose Ocasek as producer for Weezer's debut album. source
