Doo lang, doo lang, doo lang. Hey, hey, bom-bi-haidy-haidy, hey, hey. Doo-bop shoo-bop, doo-bop shoo-bop. Sha la la la la la la-ah. Dum dum dum dum-bi-doo-wah, ooh yeh, yeh, yeh-yah. 

Were backup singers ever so essential? Hand claps and finger snaps ever so ubiquitous? Dresses so shiny, suits so matchy? 

“(In The Time It Takes To) Break a Heart” assembles 90 minutes of girl groups, doo-wop, and early soul that will have your toes tapping and hips shaking. And if you want to screw up your face and join Lesley Gore in belting out, “Don’t tell me what to do, don’t tell me what to say … don’t try to change me in any way,” your admin will not judge.

P.S. Should you need to hear a Neko Case cover of the Shangri-Las’ song that inspired the episode title (and you really do), see here.
