"On November 28, 1964, the Shangri-Las went to No.1 on the US singles chart with the 'teen death song', 'Leader Of The Pack'. When released in the UK the song was refused airplay by the BBC, (probably due to its death theme), where it went on to chart three times: No.11 in 1965; No.3 in 1972 (by which time the BBC ban had been lifted); and once again at No.7 in 1976."

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of The Shangri-Las performing "Leader Of The Pack" in 1965.
"Leader Of The Pack"
Lyrics
"-Is she really going out with him?
-Well, there she is. Let's ask her
-Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
-M-hm
-Gee, it must be great riding with him. Is he picking you up after school today?
-M-m
-By the way, where'd you meet him?
[Verse 1]
I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture?
-Yes, we see
That's when I fell for the Leader of the Pack
My folks were always putting him down
-Down, down
They said he came from the wrong side of town
-What you mean when you say that he came from the wrong side of town?
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for the Leader of the Pack
One day my Dad said, "Find someone new"
I had to tell my Jimmy, We're through
-What you mean when you say that you better go find somebody new?
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you, Leader of the Pack
He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
Whether he heard
I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Look out, look out, look out, look out
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the Leader of the Pack
Leader of the Pack, now he's gone"
Here is another classic teenage death song, this one about the dead girlfriend
Mark Dinning - Teen Angel (1959)

Charted 3 times, that's pretty amazing. I remember when this came out. Much discussion about a ban even here.
