Bell Notes--"I've Had It"

I'm confused. The song from '59, "I've Had It"--the one that goes "when I saw her on the corner, then I knew I was a goner, I've had it..."--is this by the Bell Notes or the Bell Tones or the Beltones? I've seen it credited to Carl Bonura & Ray Ceroni, and also to Orbison-Wilson. Anyone know more about this song, and this group? There aren't two songs named "I've Had It," are there? Sure would appreciate any help!

The Bell Notes. Covered by Alex Chilton on 'Like Flies on Sherbert.' Carl Bonura is vocals and sax, it says here, and Ray Ceroni vocals and guitar. From Long Island.

Have you ever seen Scorsese's Who's That Knocking at My Door? "I've Had It" is featured prominently, I think during a rooftop scene. Great song--Ray Barretto's "El Watusi" is the film's other high point.

I've got the DVD but haven't watched it yet. Will do it this week.
