Annotation
Teenage Marine (Captains, The) Teen pop novelty. Soldier boy song. Man enlisted - his girl upset. So she went around town with other men. He returned for a furlough - she said stop knocking at my door, you made your choice. But then she changes her mind - he is now a man!

About the artist
Unknown - "Teenage Marine" b/w "Icarus" (R And H Records 1007, 1965), mastered at Columbia Nashville, pressed by Southern Plastics (standing pressing trap), published by Fame Publishing. Discogs disambiguates the act, whose only other release is the undated LP "The Captains In Pensacola" - a title that names a city but states nothing. No biography was located. [Source: Discogs]
