Mr Moto was a wrestler back in the late 50's 60's The classic tune written by Paul Johnson and performed by his band The Belairs.
Here's Paul with his current group The Duo-Tones doing a very cool acoustic version;

Great clip George!
Several years ago, Paul and Gil appeared at one of my Costco Music Roadshows. I got permission from Costco for them to sell their CD's. While Paul was taking a break, Gil asked me to play a song with him. We played Mr. Moto. I played the lead from the electric BelAirs version, so it didn't sound this good. When Paul got back, he and Gil did it right.
When Paul used to sit in with us at the Coyote and Robbies Roadhouse, he always let me play the lead on "Squad Car" (I do the Los Straitjackets version from their live CD "Damas y Caballeros").
