Sure enough, by Sonny Bono (surprisingly NOT under a psuedonym, as were
most of his better known compositions for other folks - see "She Said Yeah"
[Larry Williams, Rolling Stones, Flamin' Groovies] by one "S. Christy") and
(probably mostly) the (recently) late, (very, very) great, Jack Nietzche.

Artists listed include Jack DeShannon (the original hit version, I think?),
the Ramones, Tom Petty, and CHER.

(most songs not in the BMI database can be found in the ASCAP one at:

Very useful databases, no matter what one's opinion on the owners' is ...
