"I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door", written by Aaron Schroeder and Sid Wayne, is a song that was originally released by the Isley Brothers in 1959 and became a hit for teenage actor Eddie Hodges in 1961. It peaked at #12 at Billboard Hot 100.
An excerpt of the song was used in the Buchanan and Goodman 1961 break -in novelty recording entitled "Berlin Top Ten" which dealt with the Berlin Wall crisis, during the Cold War, as Boris the Russian Spinner, introduced the song as "I'm Gonna Knock on your Door" by the Secret Police, before an announcement of another cold war issue interrupted the song.
