Del Shannon is awesome.
You probably know him from this song, complete with Musitron solo at 1:05:
But he had some other great songs, too.
Or did you want to hear Del and Burton Cummings play Hats Off together? Or the super mellow Little Town Flirt? I won't judge.
Yeah, this guy was either a good actor, or some woman just tore his heart right to shit.
Decent covers, too:
This one's also apparently the very first cover of a Beatles song.
Sadly, Del committed suicide in 1990 at the age of 55, but I hope some of you check out his music.
For those of you wondering about the title, in the 2009 movie Adventureland, there is a fixed carnival game called "Hats Off to Larry". At one point, a patron throws a ball directly at a hat and gets angry when it won't come off the dummy, and the inebriated staff person muses "..."
