It's catchy, it's easy to dance to and I'll give it an 85 Mister Clark.

I've put this one a couple mix discs. Make me want to get up and dance.

On edit: Now that I heard this I think my file must be the radio cut. This one just goes on for what seems like 24 hours.

We picked this off the list for a battle of the bands.
We closed our 3 song stint with it.
We started using the Peter Gunn theme, during which I played the horn parts, then i stepped from behind the keys to introduce the band.
Went back to the Peter Gunn horns, then kicked the song in.
We rotated the lead vocal line by line & then harmonized on the chorus.
After the 2nd verse, we broke down into a jazzy thing (think Spooky, for feel) & I played a jazz piano solo.
Then it took it down to almost nothing, kicked it back in did the 3rd verse and ending.
When we won the whole thing & all 4 of us won best on instrument, some of the other bands thought we should be disqualified because we did 5 songs, not 3!
Protest denied! We won 3 grand in prizes for 3 songs. If we made a grand per song when we were gigging, I'd have retired at 50!
