Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

When I wrote "Hey Little Cobra", Jan Berry, Brian Wilson and Roger Christian were all standing there and they went, "We knew it was written by a girl". No girl had ever written a hit hotrod song. And I said, "Why?" And they said, "Because you can't take your Cobra out of gear and let it coast to the line". See more »

Trivia:

Besides co-writing the hit hotrod song "Hey Little Cobra" for The Rip Chords, Connors also co-wrote both "Bite Bite Barracuda" and "Mighty Mighty Barracuda" for The Knickerbockers. See more »
