Why she might be annoying:

For her first recordings, she replaced Connie Stevens as Edd 'Kookie' Byrnes' duet partner.
She sang the 'for those who think young' theme in Pepsi commercials.
She was a one hit wonder.
That hit wasn't exactly a model of feminism. ('I want a brave man/I want a cave man!')

TIme magazine said she is 'admired by both rock 'n' rollers... as well as by those who pant for Ella and Frankie.'
