Help naming song: 60s pop, sounds like it's performed by a middle school band
Solved thanks to @etherphon! Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson

I tried a browser search but results were all over the place. It's a pretty common tune and I was curious about its background.
EDIT: I should have put middle school orchestra in the title, sorry about that.

ya got any info whatsoever... lyrics? years, anything?
I forgot to mention orchestra, oof! I think it's an instrumental but not certain. All my brain will spit out is the intro/chorus and verse tunes.
Here's a lame attempt at the melody:
Doo, ^doo^, ^^doo^^, (rest), da-da-^dat^ dat dat
dooYou better whistle or hum the melody into Vocaroo, because otherwise this is woefully little info to go off. There was a lot of orchestral pop music in the sixties.
Hey thanks, didn't know about that site. Here we go:

Is it "My pal foot foot" by The Shaggs?
No, it's an orchestra
First thought was Louie, Louie by the kingsmen
No, though I think it's another one hit wonder
THAT'S it! Thank you. Pretty sure I've never heard the lyrics before now.
Maybe something Jackson 5?
No, definitely not
The Archies - Sugar, sugar ?
