Ok, this is considered “smarmy pop” by many, but I’ve got this song stuck in my head… I’ve found the lyrics on the 'net, and the version I’m most familiar with is by The Lettermen, though the one by Frankie Valli (sp?) seems to have been the most popular… my question is, does anyone have a MP3 or .wav of this song, particularly the version by the Lettermen? I’m not out to steal the song, I just want to HEAR it a couple of times to GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!! For clarity, the version by The Lettermen has a bit extra at the beginning… “I think I’m going out of my head…” …which isn’t in the F.V. version (at least, I don’t think it is…) Anyone wanna help me w/this?? ---

\ I have a version by The Four Seasons and one done by Lauren Hill (she of Fugees fame). I love both of them. Cheesy goodness with a great horns section.
