Of course, some did much better than others, but they all cracked the Hot 100. So I really think we have an even playing ground. Bobby Freeman wrote the tune and scored its biggest hit to date with his 1958 original. The Beach Boys came close to Freeman chart-wise as did Bette Midler (the song that really launched her career). Del Shannon, The Mamas &amp; The Papas and The Ramones all did their own unique versions of the tune, even if they didn&#8217;t chart as high. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><a title=\"Click To Listen To The Cat Fight Podcast\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/FNCF\/\" target=\"_blank\">So listen to the podcast, dig the tunes and VOTE for the one you DIG THE MOST!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six versions of &#8220;Do You Want To Dance&#8221; compete for your vote this week on the Friday Night Cat Fight with Matt The Cat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-friday-night-cat-fight-radio-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
