    I am actually old enough to remember this being played on the radio. (Very young, but I liked it - even though I didn't really understand it.) Searched for this song b/c a major character in "77 Sunset Strip" died recently, and his obit mentioned a colorful parking lot attendant named Edd Byrnes, and the "Kookie" song. Curiosity led me here! Body language (especially Connie's) and physical movements - fascinating.

      ***** I remember Kookie and 77 Sunset Strip but I was a *little kid* when it was on. I'm probably an old geezerette (56)! Edd Byrnes wasn't even a great actor! He's been called Edd "Kookie" Byrnes since 1960! Do you remember the commercial for Brylcreme that had Eddy on it when "the Wethead (was) dead?" I do. Barely. But I remember both.

      It was a little before my time, but I do remember hearing about 77 Sunset Strip. I even remember part of the theme song, although I don't know where I heard it. Anyway, regarding your comment about not remembering Edd Byrnes altogether fondly, did he have a bad reputation or something? Just curious. :)

    3:09 Amazing that Dick Clark considered Edd's sideburns as long, especially considering the hairstyles that became popular five years after this was filmed.

    Ed Byrnes went on to produce some fantastic movies. And you would have to have been a kid or teenager to appreciate this silly cute song. I was around 5 years old at this time and remember watching this on TV.

      This was a year before I was born but I remember hearing the song on the radio when I was young, my mom tried to explain it to me but it still didn't make any sense to me. I still like the song and laughed when he said, "Baby you're the ginchiest".

    On this day in 1958 {October 10th} the private detective series '77 Sunset Strip' premiered on the ABC-TV network...
    The series ran for six years with a total of 206 episodes...
    Edd Byrnes played 'Kookie'* on the show; and a little over four months later on April 14th, 1959 his "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #72, and just three weeks later on May 11, 1959 it would peak at #4 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 13 weeks...
    The record's B-side, "Like I Love You", also made the Top 100, it reached #42 and spent 9 weeks on the chart...
    * On the series' first episode Edd Byrnes actually played hit man named 'Smiley'; he later would play 'Kookie' on 137 episodes...

    R.I.P, dear Kookie. You were a legend and loved by many. Too bad the teeny boppers who couldn't appreciate the extraordinary acting abilities you had when 77 Sunset finally gave in and allowed you to partner with the other 2. You looked wonderful in your jacket AND the suit when they "promoted" you. They didn't understand that you became a different kind of "cool" when you did that, a more mature cool that had to put away his comb. You will be remembered always as someone who had way more potential than the world and the networks ever gave you credit for. Rest in Peace in the arms of Jesus..... XOXOXO

    On "77" Mr. Byrnes parked cars for a detective agency but later eased in to being a detective on the show, whereas Miss Stevens gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of "Cricket" Blake on the network television series Hawaiian Eye.
