single, 1958
Written by Jimmy Noble and Dwight Pullen
This is a terrific rockabilly single from Pullen, a guitarist for Gene Vincent who previously recorded under the name Whitey Pullen. He changed it because he thought Dwight would sound better to the teenagers buying records. The song, the spiritual grandfather to both "Sunglasses at Night" and "Cheap Sunglasses," extols the virtues of looking sharp when wearing sunglasses after dark. It's tongue-in-cheek, describing a fight in which no one comes out on top because all the participants, in their cool shades, could barely see.
