It's Larry Williams week!
The tale of a juvenile delinquent, classic early rock 'n' roll sounding like a subdued Little Richard with spoken echoes like in "Bird Dog." The bad behavior starts off rather tame, as befits the era, and then devolves into actual crimes. He plays rock 'n' roll all night, he teases the girls, he has long hair, he feeds a pet canary to a cat, a puts the dog in a washing machine. Hmm, I'm usually pretty anti-authoritarian, but maybe this particular bad boy should be sent to military school.
