    10. THE HAPPY ORGAN, Dave “Baby” Cortez

    Sadly a huge instrumental hit everywhere except in my house.

    Ironically, my favorite part of "The Happy Organ" is the guitar break!

    I never warmed to it tho I really liked his later "Rinky Dink"

    Seriously? "The Happy Organ" rocks quite a bit harder!

    Not to me. "The Happy Organ" does not even sound like rock and roll to
    me. It sounds more like the guy playing the organ at the roller rink.
    Just because the tempo is faster does not mean that it "rocks harder."

    I have "The Happy Organ" as a 5 (pretty good) and "Rinky Dink" as a 7
    (very good).

    I think we'd be about the same here

    I don't list "The Happy Organ" on my 1959 list but if I did it'd be a 5
    I guess. OTOH "Rinky Dink" rates a good 7 in 1962
