It was composed by Norman Knowles and other members of The Revels, Sam Eddy, Brian England, Dan Darnold and Jim Macrae.[1] [2] It was released bw "Good Grief" on Lyn 1302 in October, 1959.[3][4] Knowles had been inspired by Dan Darnold's reputation for drinking a beer in just four seconds.[5] The track had party sound effects that would be used by The Revels in their other recordings.[6] It became a hit in California.[7]

It was also released on Swingin' 620 in 1960.[8] An alternative take of the track is featured on the Sundazed Music 1994 CD compilation, Intoxica! The Best Of The Revels.[9]
