Chan Romero was only 17 when he wrote his breakthrough hit, “Hippy Hippy Shake.”

Released in 1959, it became a huge hit and caught the ear of Paul McCartney, who would perform it often during early Beatles gigs.

Three decades later, Bruce took his one and only swing at it when he made an unannounced guest appearance (along with Max Weinberg) on guitar with cover band Stand and Deliver at the Classics Cafe in Westwood, New Jersey. Take a listen below.
