Who Wrote the Book of Love
The Monotones coined this tune all by themselves back in 1957. It is a classic ear wig and would not leave my Jukebox Brain alone. So by listing it here, I might expunge it from buzzing around my lobotomy. This was an era where sexual politics was lightweight but heavy handed with men primarily calling the shots. Men today might even yearn for simplistic rules of love, even women too. But the history of relationships is a minefield. What’s mine and what’s yours. But the groove of the song still works. A true garage classic where the sound of a basketball hitting the garage door during rehearsal sounded so good to these kids that they kept it in the arrangement. Supposedly inspired by a pepsodent toothpaste commercial.
