It's Larry Williams week!
I know this song from McCartney's version on his excellent 1999 album Run Devil Run. It's a declaration of intent about a pretty girl that caught the narrator's eye, as was the rock 'n' roll style of the time. "Dum deedle dee dum dum / Little girl, where did you come from?" Great horn sound, an up-tempo rocker very much in the style of Little Richard. There's a reason both the Stones and the Beatles covered Williams; he knew how to infuse vinyl with the spirit of rhythm and blues.
