After listening to this, I would describe it as "relentlessly catchy".
The Pets were a group of session musicians based in Los Angeles. "Cha-Hua-Hua" reached #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958; subsequent releases in 1958 and 1959 went nowhere.
After this, the members of The Pets went back to their jobs as musicians for hire. One Pet, drummer Earl Palmer, became a member of the session group The Wrecking Crew and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Another Pet, guitarist Richard Polodor, became the producer for Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf, among others.
