hang on sloopy
Hang On Sloopy, a classic written by the mccoys in Ohio.
"Hang on Sloopy" is about being in love/a relationship with a girl of another socioeconomic class. Wes Farrell and Bert Russell wrote the song in the mid-1960s, and it was originally titled "My Girl Sloopy"; "Sloopy" is a reference to American jazz singer Dorothy Sloop, who often went by the name "Sloopy." The first stanza speaks to the boy's love and concern for a poor girl, whose father holds some menial or socially undesirable job that she is ashamed of. He tells her he doesn't care what her daddy "do," and that he's in love with her and to hang on, things will improve. The second stanza speaks to the strong sexual attraction between the two, and is a veiled reference to the act of fellatio, with the boy laying on his back. He delights in her long hair, and coaxes her to let her hair down and "hang down on me." Backed by the chorus, he urges her to "come on, come on." He tells her "it feels so good" and that she knows it feels so good. The song quickens in tempo and he exhorts her to "shake it, shake it, shake it," letting out a "yeah!" before the song creschendos with a long howl, symbolizing the ecstasy of his orgasm.

Bad question. Both composers,Wes Farrell and Bert Russell (real name Bert Berns) were from New York.
In 1985, the Ohio General Assembly approved "Hang on Sloopy" as Ohio's official rock song. The Ohio General Assembly adopted an official rock song after Joe Dirck, a columnist for the Columbus Citizen-Journal, wrote a column about the State of Washington considering the adoption of its own rock song. The Ohio General Assembly responded by making "Hang on Sloopy" Ohio's rock song. Ohio is the only state to have an official rock song.
The Hang of It was created in 1941.
No, Liz Agriss Derringer and Rick married 1969 for 22 years. The dancer on the Hang On Sloopy video has been located and her name is Lisa Leonard Dalton! You can see her story on YouTube under Deconstructing A Myth: Sloopy Girl. This was big news in the music world last week of Aug, 2021 because since the video first aired on YT around 2010, credit worldwide for the dancer was given to a British woman. It is nice to finally give the credit back to the real owner of the dance.
