"Do the Clam"? Definitely one of these crappy songs in crappy movies that led Elvis down the wrong path.

NYC top 10, 3/10/65:

1 1 STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE - The Supremes
2 2 EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - The Beatles
3 3 GOLDFINGER - Shirley Bassey
4 10 CAN’T YOU HEAR MY HEARTBEAT - Herman’s Hermits
5 9 THE BIRDS AND THE BEES - Jewel Akens
6 6 MY GIRL - The Temptations
7 13 SHOTGUN - Jr. Walker & The All Stars
8 4 THIS DIAMONG RING - Gary Lewis & The Playboys
9 20 KING OF THE ROAD - Roger Miller
10 SS I’M TELLING YOU NOW - Freddie & The Dreamers

SS = Sure Shot. Went from nowhere on the top 57 to 10, on the way to #1 a few weeks later.

At least the Sure Shot was better than "Do the Freddie."
