Its success was very much due to the very catchy boogie piano riff, played by Johnny Parker and brought to the front by producer Joe Meek.
Paul McCartney based his piano part for the Beatles' song "Lady Madonna" on this riff.
George Martin was head A&R man of Parlophone at that time, but was not involved in the actual recording.
It was a popular and regular feature of Lyttelton concerts, sometimes played with accompanying riffs by the band.
It was recorded again by Lyttelton with Elkie Brooks in 2002, with lyrics added, on their album Trouble in Mind.
