...when it was released, in March 1951. It encapsulates the lithe popular art of all those Les and Mary singles - the density and clarity, the distinctiveness of his guitar voice and her intimate vocal instrument, the heart and the fun. It's a number that expresses the choral lilt of early-'50s pop and the electric drive of mid-'50s rock, as if "Mr. Sandman" had married "Peggy...

She raps with a subtle melodic lilt over a boomingly percussive beat, a combination reminiscent of Gwen Stefani’s 2004 “Hollaback Girl.” In fact, New York’s own Lil Mama has a lot in common (particularly lyrically) with Orange County’s Stefani.
