'"Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)"' is a song first recorded by Dick Holler & the Holidays, written by Don Smith and Cyril Vetter. It was later recorded by the Swingin' Medallions who released it as their second single in 1966. Peaking at #17 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot 100,[ 'Billboard' Singles], Allmusic.com the recording became a hit although banned on many radio stations due to lines referring to drinking and sex: "worst hangover I ever had" and "she loved me so hard".At the request of Smash Records, a sanitized version substituting "worst morning after I ever had" and "she kissed me so hard" was created that ended up on some, but not all, pressings of the group's first album.
The song has since been recorded by numerous artists including the Residents on the album 'Third Reich & Roll', Joe Stampley, and the Cockroaches.
