No doubt it would have done better chart-wise than "Run Run Run" - definitely would have gone top 40.
supposedly after Run failed, everyone was sort of panicking. they were thinking about going with Penny but i think the story is that Berry wanted it recut, maybe a little slower? not sure exactly. but agree - in whatever form or tempo, it's a much better song than Run
