<P> In 2012, American author and essayist Ray Schuck noted that the lyrics, "Well, I know that you're in love with him,' cause I saw you dancing in the gym / You both kicked off your shoes--man, I dig those rhythm and blues ."--from Don McLean's song "American Pie might be a vague reference to the Cleftones' 1961 rhythm and blues song, "Heart and Soul ." In his essay, Schuck argued that such as reference would "segue nicely into the verses comprising the remainder of this stanza, albeit with a disappointing outcome ." </P> <P> Jan and Dean covered the song at the same time as the Cleftones's record was on the chart . They intended for it to be released on Liberty Records, who balked, and it was released on Gene Autry's Challenge Records instead . It reached No. 25 on the charts . Liberty, noting the success, signed them, and Jan and Dean went on to make five top - ten singles for the label ("Surf City", "Honolulu Lulu", "Drag City", "Deadman's Curve", and "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena"). </P> <P> The following artists have registered a recording of this song with ASCAP . </P> <Ul> <Li> The Ames Brothers </Li> <Li> Beegie Adair </Li> <Li> Blue Barron </Li> <Li> Hoagy Carmichael </Li> <Li> Betty Carter </Li> <Li> The Cleftones </Li> <Li> Larry Clinton </Li> <Li> Floyd Cramer </Li> <Li> Ella Fitzgerald </Li> <Li> Forever Plaid </Li> <Li> The Four Aces </Li> <Li> Crystal Gayle </Li> <Li> Skitch Henderson </Li> <Li> Jan and Dean </Li> <Li> Frank Loesser </Li> <Li> Johnny Maddox </Li> <Li> Glenn Miller </Li> <Li> Ella Mae Morse </Li> <Li> Tony Mottola </Li> <Li> Sue Raney </Li> <Li> Jan Savitt </Li> <Li> The Spaniels </Li> <Li> Livingston Taylor </Li> <Li> The Top Hatters </Li> <Li> Mel Tormé </Li> </Ul>
