single, 1957
Written by Larry Williams
It's Larry Williams week!
A terrific '50s rocker, a winking answer song to Little Richard and Elvis and other rockers of the era, peppered as it is with references to "tutti frutti," "rip it up," "blue suede shoes," "long tall sally," "slippin' and sliding," "heartbreak hotel," and more. There's even a reference to Fats Domino, with "we were married up on Blueberry Hill." So it's kind of a novelty song, but it's also a great example of '50s rock boogie.
