Formed in 1961 by Mike Gordon, the Routers recordings were the touring group and sessions musicians. The actual group consisted of Gordon, Randy Viers, Lynn Frazier and a was the touring group. The Routers first release in September 1962 was Let's Go (Pony), which reached # 19 on the Billboard charts. Its infectious “clap clap clap-clap-clap clap-clap-clap-clap Let's Go! " chant became a favorite of cheerleaders and crowds worldwide. The recording was instigated by record producer Joe Saraceno and his producing and songwriting partner Mike Gordon. Like many pop instrumentals recorded in Los Angeles, California at this time, such as those by Mike Gordon and the Agates, it involved Mike Gordon (guitar), Randy Viers (drums) and Lynn Frazier (sax), and Scott Walker on bass guitar.
Later Routers recordings, which continued to be issued up to 1964 but with less commercial success, involved Mike Gordon, (guitar), Leon Russell (piano) and Hal Blaine (drums). The same group also recorded over the same period as The Marketts. Various studio and touring versions of the band included Mike Gordon, Randy Viers (later of Redbone), and Scott Engel (later of The Walker Brothers).

That just so happens to be my theme from my Sunday Night Oldies Show that I had on a small market station for close to 20 years in Maine.Whole Lotta memories there!

I never knew this song had a subtitle of Pony. I have it on a reissue 45 that doesn't mention Pony. I would assume the Pony referred to the dance you're supposed to do when you hear it.

I first heard this song when I was about 8. I'm now 52. I finally found it. This is only my third time ever hearing this song.

Lolly Vegas on guitar. He sang lead in REDBONE. May his memory be a blessing 🙏

I bought this 45 single back in 1962.

@paddyotable
The meaningful lyrics always drew me to this song.
@rintintin8446
Yes. Simple but meaningful.

No one analyses lyrics better than you.
I used to play hockey in university, and they would play this in the breaks. NOTHING is worse than listening to this when you're dead tired, and the break has been caused by some smart alec kid going around you and scoring, with ease.
