Danny And The Juniors Rock ‘n’ Roll classic "At The Hop" was originally written
as "Do the Bop", American Bandstand host Dick Clark suggested the group re-
write the lyrics because the dance known as The Bop was on its way out. Clark
was right and the quartet’s record stayed in the top spot for a month.
