Is that who Billy Joel once sang about?
Not exactly the leader of British fashion I was expecting.
The “Laugh, Laugh” song is actually heard on an episode of “The Flintstones”!
Laugh Laugh - The Beau Brummels
I hate to say it but I told you so, don’t mind my preachin’ to you
I said “don’t trust ‘em, baby” now you know
You don’t know ev’rything there is to know in school.
Wouldn’t believe me when I gave advice, I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me now
So be sincere, convince me with a “pretty please”
Laugh, laugh, I thought I’d die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely
Don’t think I’m bein’ funny when I say you got just what you deserve
I can’t help feeling you found out today
You thought you would, you could, you had a lot of nerve
Won’t say I’m sorry for the things I said. I’m glad he packed up to go
You kept on braggin’ he was yours instead
Found you don’t know ev’rything there is to know
Laugh, laugh, I thought I’d die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely
Before I go I got to say one thing, don’t close your ears to me
Take my advice and you find out that he
Is just another guy who’ll cause you misery
Don’t say you can’t get any boy to call, do be so smug or else
You’ll find you can’t get any boy a’tall
You’ll wind up an old lady sittin’ on the shelf.
Laugh, laugh, I thought I’d die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely
Lonely, oh so lonely

Actually, The Beau Brummels are from San Francisco.
Just a Little--The Beau Brummells (1965)
I particularly liked that song, too, and thought it should have gone higher in the Billboard charts.
In the same vein, from the same era, one of the absolute best ever:
The Zombies-She’s Not There

Great thread. Thanks.
I saw Beau Brummel in Houston, Texas in 1965. Fairly small concert. Could hear the music very well. They were good.
