Yes, I like that also along with "The Mighty Quinn or some times called Quinn the Eskimo.

Manfred Mann had that touch.
As a group they could take other artist's songs, do a cover, and it would end up out selling the original.

"Doo Wah Diddy" was originally recorded by The Exciters in 1963.
"The Mighty Quinn" is actually Bob Dylan tune.
"Blinded By The Light" by Bruce Springsteen, for examples.

I always think of the movie STRIPES when I hear that song.

Heh, no kidding.
You can watch "Stripes" on Crackle for free, I just did on Hulu not to long ago.
Except the Hulu version was edited. Was missing the "pancake" scene.
