Artist: Routers
Author: Jean Sharp/Dayton Howe
Label: WB
Year: 1962

Instrumental quintet, initially with Scott Engel, later with the Walker Brothers.

Covers:

1963:

Cyclones [instrumental]

1965:

Rockers [vocal version]

1966:

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich [inspiration for Hold Tight, top 5 UK]

Both versions by Les Cyclones and Les Rockers became rock hymns in France, played as a crowd teaser by bands at the Golf Drouot- and Bus Palladium clubs in Paris. It became the tune for local TV show Age tendre et tête de bois and a street yell during the May 68 uprising ("Ce n'est qu'un début, continuons le combat"). Meanwhile, supporters of the home team at the 1966 Football World Championship in England, gave the Let's Go/Hold Tight yell stadium proportion.
