When it came to saving the future, Marty McFly didn’t need a powerful gauntlet, wizards, or a telephone box; he needed one good song. And for that, he needed backup from a group of talented musicians. Luckily, the Enchantment Under the Sea dance on November 12, 1955, had just what he needed.

Otis! My MAN! Otis Day and The Knights frequented basements and toga parties, literally bringing down the house. As you listen to "Shout" and "Shama Lama Ding Dong," you can understand where your dad got his dance moves... and why some weddings have banned "Shout" from being played.
