That's a nice one -I have it with Toots Thielemans playing the harmonica (don't know if it's really the original take, but it sounds pretty close).
Dance-oriented, I remember something called "Tequila", but I forgot the name of the band. Awesome.
More rock-oriented, but kinda groovey, anything by guitar master Link Wray
It don't mean a thing (if ain't got that swing)

The Champs did it first in 1958, but there's a very good cover version by No Way Jose from 1984/5. Quality funk re-working
