"Popsicle" is a song written by Buzz Cason and Bobby Russell. It was first recorded in 1962 by the Todds. The song was originally released on their 1963 album Drag City.
After Jan Berry's near fatal car accident near Dead Man's Curve in 1966, Dean Torrence had one last effort to save Jan & Dean's name by releasing a new album with "Popsicle" as the title track. The new album consisted of all previously released songs. Popsicle was then released as a single with the B side being a remake of The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)".[1]
"Popsicle" hit as high as 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the later half of 1966 when it was rereleased as a single.[2]
