Ahhh, I remember that song like it was yesterday, but maybe that's because I heard it yesterday, or maybe I'm thinking of another song that's a lot like Hang On Sloopy, only different, and back in 1965 I had hair just like the guy on the left, not to be confused with the Left Banke, who had a hit with Pretty Ballerina and Walk Away Renee, and I think Sloopy and Renee when to high school together, and speaking of Pretty Ballerina, that was the song that was playing on the radio when Gail Pennewell lept me touch her right breast, and yeah, it was over bra, and over blouse, and I sort of touched it by accident, and wait a minute, if the McCoys had a hit with Hang On Sloopy, what did the Gentrys have a hit with?
WHEREAS, Adoption of "Hang On Sloopy" as the official rock song of Ohio is in no way intended to supplant "Beautiful Ohio" as the official state song, but would serve as a companion piece to that old chestnut . . .
Hey, ho, way to go, Ohio!
