single, 1959
Written by the Nightcaps
The Nightcaps were one of Dallas' first important rock bands, and released the song "Thunderbird," later made famous by ZZ Top. Apparently they remained active until 2009! This song is a primitive rockabilly beat made to dance to, written by the band when they were in high school. Billy Joe Shine's nasal whine (wine?) on this song and the repeated title word for a chorus gives the song a high droning sound. Rollicking piano and blaring horns make it a Jerry Lee Lewis-style romp.
