Although I never especially cared for “girl groups” (The Angels’ “My Boyfriend’s Back” being one notable exception), what I love about this recording is how faithful they are to the original form. Not even for a moment do they lose their focus or stop to wink at the audience.
That’s a great lesson for radio people who attempt to do comedy or satire on-the-air: Write it funny, play it straight.
The group is The Hot Toddies. I first heard this in 2008*, at which time I contacted them for permission to share the song on my blog.
*Hence the reference to “Ask Jeeves.” And, for that matter, “DSL.”
