Album Notes & Community Reviews

Another classic Leiber and Stoller composition blending tight vocal harmony with clever, subversive lyricism. The song serves as a thinly veiled metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases, demonstrating the era's knack for disguising adult themes behind catchy pop structures.
