My all time favorite Jan & Dean song!!  To me it was Jan at his best and the song is so optimistic and free flowing.

I feel somewhat validated by this.  I listened to Jan & Dean in the 70's also but felt like an oddball for doing so. I was 16 when I saw Jan & Dean for the first time in 1980 at Disney World. The big act that night was KC & The Sunshine Band in front of the castle.

Thinking the other day, about the crash, I don't have the layout of the route Jan took that day,
Did he drive round a blind bend?
