Shorty Long came to one of my many summer parties, a long time ago, late 1960's, in Detroit. He was dressed in a GOLD body suit and just could not keep still. Shortly after that he was found dead from a boating accident near Belle Isle. Where would Shorty be today?
thanks, someone else corrected me, but what the heck, I've been singing my version for over 40 yrs! Thanks, this is the best dance song ever, even now! It is a staple at our family reunions!
great tune had this when i was a teenager going around the clubs in the south of UK the shoreline the marina the tiles etc great times never to be repeated
@oodie120 Slight correction on the lyrics, should be "Pulled a shot gun on the rooster and dared him to crow". Yes, you are right the lyrics where something special back then. (lol)

@aminah61 Oh how true. The club goers today don't have a clue of how much fun we had coming together and just dancing to the music. We and I include myself couldn't wait for the weekend. Sometimes they(the clubs) would start on Thursdays. My all time favorite was LADIES NIGHT. Yes those memories live on, and on, and on lol. Keep on keeping on.
