Reply to comment by wowbobwow in TIL that the band The Hondells had a top-ten hit with their 1964 cover of The Beach Boy's song "Little Honda," except "The Hondells" didn't actually exist by wowbobwow
The group's second LP, titled simply The Hondells, was released only a few months after Go Little Honda.[1] The LP yielded a Billboard 100 single, "My Buddy Seat," written by Brian Wilson and Gary Usher, backed with "You're Gonna Ride With Me," written by Usher and Roger Christian. Mike Curb wrote four songs that appear on the LP, "The Rebel (Without A Cause)," "The Lonely Rider," "Cycle Chase," and "The Sidewinder." The remaining tracks consisted of "Black Denim," "Night Rider," "My Little Bike," "Lay It Down," "He Wasn't Coming Back," and "Honda Holliday.
"Interesting part is one of the writers (Mike Curb) later formed the "Mike Curb Congregation" which had a hit "Burning Bridges"
Thry also wrote several Disney hits.

When You Wish Upon a Star
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (The Magic Song)
