I had the Dino, Desi, and Billy album that included "I'm A Fool," it also included their (awful) versions of "Satisfaction" and "Like A Rolling Stone"!
1 1 WOOLY BULLY - Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs 2 3 MR. TAMBOURINE MAN - The Byrds 3 5 DARLING TAKE ME BACK - Lenny Welch 4 6 I CAN’T HELP MYSELF - The Four Tops 5 11 YES, I’M READY - Barbara Mason 6 10 I DO - The Marvelows 7 22 (I Can’t Get No) SATISFACTION - The Rolling Stones 8 2 BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN - The Supremes 9 4 HELP ME, RHONDA - The Beach Boys 10 13 I’VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG (To Stop Now) - Otis Redding
Another classic list. Warning: making the jump from Sure Shot to 27 was I'm Henry VIII, I Am by Herman's Hermits. I know it was #1 on some stations but not on WMCA - it was blocked by Satisfaction.

Yikes. I'm glad I haven't heard those.
Wow, Deb, that's a collectors' item...or maybe not.
I remember a friend sending me an article back in the early 1980's about Desi, Jr. touting the "talents" of Stuart Saturn, The Singing Astrologer.
As Dave Barry would say, I swear I am not making this up.

I'm Henry VIII, I Am was at least catchy, and it had a melody.
Too bad they didn't use it for background music on WOLF HALL.
