Alternate version by Rick Derringer and The McCoys.
Original video edited and AI remastered with stereo sound.
"Hang On Sloopy" (originally "My Girl Sloopy") is a 1964 song written by Wes Farrell and Bert Berns. Rhythm and blues vocal group the Vibrations were the first to record the tune in 1964. Atlantic Records released it as a single, which reached No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is associated with Ohio State University and is Ohio's official rock song.
The song became standard fare for garage bands and, in 1965, it became one of the first songs recorded by the Yardbirds with guitarist Jeff Beck. A version by the rock group the McCoys was the most successful, when it reached number one in the singles chart. Recordings by additional artists also reached the charts, including versions in Spanish and Portuguese.
According to Rick Derringer of the McCoys the original version of Sloopy was written by a "high school kid in St. Louis" and sold to Bert Russell, also known as Bert Berns. By one account, the inspiration for the song was Dorothy Sloop, a jazz singer from Steubenville, Ohio, and a student at Ohio University.
In early 1965, the Strangeloves, a New York City rock band, wanted to make the song the follow-up to their hit single "I Want Candy" and began performing it in concert. However, the Dave Clark Five, with whom they were touring, told the Strangeloves that they were going to record their own version when they returned to England, copying the Strangeloves' arrangement. The Strangeloves realized that the Dave Clark Five's cut would likely be a hit, but they were not yet ready to release a new single because they were still enjoying the success of "I Want Candy" from a few months earlier.
The answer presented itself when a young rock group named Rick and the Raiders opened (and provided backing) for the Strangeloves in July in Dayton, Ohio. The Strangeloves, three writer-producers from Brooklyn, New York City, recruited Rick and the Raiders to record the song under their name. Their 16-year-old leader, Rick Zehringer, was flown to Bell Sound Studios in New York to record his lead vocal over the Strangeloves' already-recorded backing tracks. It was decided to change the name of Rick's group to the McCoys to avoid confusion with another popular band at the time, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Rick began using the stage name Rick Derringer. The single was issued on Bang Records and entered the chart on August 14, 1965. It reached the top position on October 2. Contrary to the Strangeloves' expectations, the Dave Clark Five version was never even released.
Originally written and recorded with three verses, the retitled "Hang On Sloopy" was edited down to two verses for the single and resulting Hang On Sloopy album. The unedited three-verse version, at 3 minutes, 50 seconds, first appeared on the 1970 Bang various artists compilation Bang & Shout Super Hits (BLPS-220), then again on the 1991 Rhino Records various artists compilation Grandson of Frat Rock! Vol. 3 and the 1995 Legacy Recordings compilation Hang On Sloopy: The Best of the McCoys.

Smurfstools...great job highlighting Rick and dancer Lisa Leonard Dalton. I am pleased you used the proper 1975 cover or remake by Rick for the soundtrack. This cover and this video, with the stellar Lisa Leonard Dalton as the dancing star, was filmed for the 1975 release of Rick's album 'Spring Fever' and to promote it they also re-released the 'Sloopy' single with the marimba and steel drums added. Artist credit for this '75 remake goes only to Rick Derringer. The McCoys had disbanded years before. Lisa Leonard Dalton is a friend and I will make sure she learns of your excellent mix here.

Lisa Leonard Dalton is the Sloopy girl, in the video. You can find her on Youtube. She's still beautiful.

Totally cool! I've never heard Rick's solo version. I like it, though the "Sloopy Girl" might have something to do with it.

Every time I had heard this song, I always thought they were saying “stupid”. Learn something new everyday.

Interesting cover, Sammy. Never heard it before. Thanks for putting it together.
As always, thanks for the complete background information!

After this clip resurfaced on YouTube, the dancer (for reasons that will be obvious) became almost as famous as the song. "Sloopy girl" Lisa Leonard Dalton certainly had that natural look and knew how to shake her hips.

Glad I clicked! That turn out pretty awesomely.
And Rick Derringer? I knew that song all the way back but never connected it or the group to him. I read now that the group was earlier called "Rick and the Raiders".
Alas, I would call them a one hit wonder. Though not Rick.

Isn't this remake missing a verse? "Walking down the street ... and ...wearing a red dress old as the hills" I also missed Rick's scream. This was left out of the remake? I prefer original with the McCoys. Love Rick Derringer and his later song " Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo"
