THE VERSATONES - BILA

It seems "The Versatones" was a popular name for bands in the US midcentury, & this actually has nothing to do with Eddie Balzonczyk's better known group of the same name; it was a part of a one-off 45 from a different band produced on All Star records by Dickie Goodman, in 1958. Later it became a Top 10 hit on Pittsburgh's station KQV & was reissued; most copies sold in NYC out of a subway station record shop called Times Square Records. THEN in the 60s it resurfaced as a hit in Philadelphia & was reissued by Lost Nite. There's a rare version of the song only found on the Lost Nite copies in yellow vinyl. Keep an eye out.

That super instrumental throaty humming is the kind of thing that sets one band apart from everything else in its genre. It's total doo-wop gibberish, unless you pull "dance" from the word "bila" which doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.
