I liked BJ Thomas' version before Blue Suede gave it the Ooga Chukka treatment.

Perfect song for AI to cut the chaka out.

That really sucks. He was so good. The character he did in the Dirty Dozen is legend.

The Kelly's Heros character was Sutherland pushing the needle. The Dirty Dozens was him being the OG
