The Contours have plenty other songs in their catalogue that didn't get their due. The upbeat yet melancholy "It's So Hard Being A Loser" is just one of them, and shows a different side of the band many didn't know existed. The song only went to #79 in 1967. The band didn't see chart success again until "Do You Love Me" re-entered in 1988.
