Mr. Thrill - Mildred Jones

Mr. Thrill - Mildred Jones
2:33
single, 1954
Written by Mildred Jones

This song extols a Cadillac as extended, and thinly veiled, sexual metaphor.  ("When he put it in, ungh!  Put it in my garage / Ride so easy cause he keeps his battery charged."  And in case you miss the point, "My daddy’s got a long, long, long Cadillac.")  Screaming horns and a rollicking piano (possibly played by Fats Domino!) add to the bordello-band feel.  What a ribald delight!
