British Invasion was not just sending us new music; it was recharging American rock and roll and sending it right back over… The Swinging Blue Jeans gave “Hippy Hippy Shake” the full Merseybeat treatment and turned it into a transatlantic hit. #TheSwingingBlueJeans #Merseybeat #OneHitWondered
The Swinging Blue Jeans' catchy, frantic version of “Hippy Hippy Shake” became their American breakthrough in 1964, peaking at #4 on the #Billboard #Top40. The funny part is that their only US hit was not their song... “Hippy Hippy Shake” was a cover. #TheSwingingBlueJeans #OneHitWondered
