It's an old doo wop song by Ben E. King and the Drifters. Ben E. King did "Stand by Me."

And I get tired of the one with the giant baby because they're mauling "Love is Strange" which is an Everly Brothers song.

I thought "Love Hurts" was an original by Nazareth in the 70s, since that's the version I heard a lot. I just found out since Phil Everly died, that Love Hurts is an Everly Brothers song!!
