Only a songwriter as flamboyantly eccentric as Gary S Paxton (aka Grandpa Rock) could come up with a lyric as left field as this one and only a producer as engaging as Paxton could have persuaded the Comets to take time out from performing "Rock Around The Clock" and "See You Later Alligator" for '50s rock'n'roll nostalgists at Dick Clark oldies shows to record their version of the ditty. In truth, despite the funny lyric it isn't the greatest of songs with the blues shuffle melody being a tad corny even for geriatric rock'n'rollers. But it's still fun and a sleeve informs us that the mass throng helping out with BVs included Paul Revere and the Righteous Brothers' Bill Medley.
