As its title suggests, it's an amazing dance machine that will make any atmosphere hot and electric. It has been covered so many times for 40 years, that even President Bill Clinton was said to have played it at his inauguration party at the White House.But the version definitely to be mentioned before coming to the one by Les Calamités(which then inspired the cover by the Asynchrones), is the 1965 cover by the Shangri-Las , the New York girl band who will be remembered forever for its world hit Leader of the Pack . For although they appeared almost 20 years and 6000 kilometres away from each others, former high-school girls from Queens and their Beaune counterparts shared many similarities.
