"Younger Girl" is a song written by John Sebastian and originally recorded by his band, the Lovin' Spoonful, for their 1965 debut album Do You Believe in Magic. The tune and lyric are based upon "Prison Wall Blues" (1930) by Cannon's Jug Stompers.
The Critters' version: The band's version was released in April 1966 on the Kapp label and became their first single. It was the title track of their debut album, also called Younger Girl.
The Critters formed in Plainfield, New Jersey, in 1964. Their lineup for the Younger Girl recording included members who delayed college to finish the song.
The Critters had another, bigger hit in 1966 with "Mr. Dieingly Sad," which reached number 17 in the US. Lead singer Don Ciccone would later join The Four Seasons in the 1970s.
Two versions charted in the U.S., both released in 1966.

The song was also covered by the West Coast studio group and surf act The Hondells (Mercury 72563), peaking July 2, at number 52 Billboard and number 38 Cash Box.
