It’s frightening to think they actually wrote and recorded songs like that then. And a bunch of us stupid girls thought they were “romantic,” but they were really just gross. He Hit Me and It Felt Like a Kiss, Rough Lover, and the champ, Lightning Strikes.
He Hit Me by the Crystals was actually banned in a lot of places, which may be the reason it didn't chart. Please Hurt Me by the Crystals (1962), which has a similar theme, was only released on an LP and not as a single.
Wow. I don’t remember any of those songs, but just damn.
