Rockin' Rockin' Leprechauns - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Rockin' Rockin' Leprechauns - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers
2:11
Rock 'n' Roll with the Modern Lovers, 1977
Written by Jonathan Richman

This is a sweet and corny song much in the style of "Here Come the Martian Martians" and "Corner Store," with a tambourine and (maybe?) a horn, except a bit near the end where Jo-Jo really lets loose and starts almost shouting a verse, until, with a little laugh, coming to his senses and easing up on the throttle and reverting to the "doo dum da da" choruses than the Lovers do so well.  Is it rock 'n' roll?  I personally don't care.  This kind of music is the kind that I like.
