Bumble & The Stingers did it under the title "Apple Knocker." There's other versions from that era, too - The Piltdown Men ("Piltdown Rides Again"), The Crossfires ("Silver Bullet") and Davie Allan & the Arrows. — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

I think here they copied the schtick of the Piltdown Men, who used to run in place while playing that song back in the early '60s. — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

Hmmm, come to think of it, the Rapiers may have been copying Sounds Inc. with the running in place, not the Piltdown Men. I think I got it mixed up.
