Some 8,000 fan letters bombarded Kraft; offers came to Sands from twelve movie companies and the major networks. The two songs from the show, Teen-Age Crush, an insipid ballad-with-a-beat that relates in sobbing tones something about young love misunderstood, and Hep Dee Hootie ("Cutie wootie, you're all rootie with me"), sold as fast as they could be scratched onto disks.
