single, 1956
Written by Richard Berry and Joe Josea
Berry, no relation to Chuck, is the composer of "Louie Louie" and "Have Love Will Travel." This is a similarly unhinged rocker, with Berry bellowing the lyrics like the best of the shouters, and unleashing a Little Richard-like "yooowww!" at the midpoint. With its nonsense title, a sleazy sax break, and some boogie-woogie piano tinkling, this is about as good an example of early rock 'n' roll as you can get.
