I know that Dollar also covered it too.It's on one of their greatest hits comps that I have.Of all the NW versions of this song,which were not many, Dollar's version has to be the best,as it is still very Bubblegummy.Let's put it this way,they would give

TB Frank's is awesome. I think it is better than Dollar's version but that's just my opinion. It's definitely darker.
