The database, as well as every Joel Whitburn publication I've seen, gives the title of Chubby Checker's hit on Parkway 949 as "Let's Do The Freddie". My US commercial 45, however, as well as the actual Billboard Hot 100 charts, states the title as "Do The Freddie". Parkway likely decided to add the "Let's" to later pressings of the 45 to avoid confusion with Freddie & The Dreamers' different song with the same title, which was a hit at the same time.

I have 2 (both stock) copies of this 45, one of each title variation.
