It's Larry Williams week!
As this song starts out you think it'll be a novelty number about a strange-looking girl ("I got a girl named Bony Moronie / She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni") on the lines of Fats Waller's "Your Feet's Too Big," but as it progresses, the lyrics reveal what is actually a pretty sweet love song, and not much more about her appearance is said. "I wanna get married on a night in June / And rock 'n' roll by the light of the silvery moon." Add a boppin' boogie sax, and what else can you ask?
