Both songs were released on their album Dead Man's Curve / The New Girl In School.
[2] The song was initially titled "Gonna Hustle You", but Liberty Records made Jan and Dean change the title and lyrics because the label thought the general public would interpret the song as being too raunchy, insinuated by the word "hustle".
Jan & Dean retitled the song to "The New Girl in School" and brought in a fourth songwriter, Roger Christian to help rewrite the lyrics.
[citation needed] After Jan Berry's near fatal crash near Dead Man's Curve in April 1966, Liberty put out the version "Gonna Hustle You" on Jan and Dean's album Filet of Soul: A "Live" One.
In 1973, Dean Torrence released "Gonna Hustle You" as a single, by overdubbing the original lyrics under his band, Legendary Masked Surfers.
