single, 2020
Written by Catherine Baldwin, 1957
This is a pretty decent rockabilly song, all hot rods and teenage meet-ups. I originally thought it was a throwback, but it turns out to be a cover of an obscure single originally released, I think, by Bob Luman. All '50s style, acoustic upright bass, black leather jacket, switchblade maybe? It's got an ominous vibe. Something's going to happen before the sun comes up. Maybe he'll get some girl to like him! Nothing original here, but it's a good time. The title is repeated a lot. Probably dancing is more on the band's minds than story-telling.
