this is not a live version, I'm sorry, no mics, no cables on the bass (and no, it can't be wireless, it's the 50s for f.sake!!) and there are a few moments where playing and movements of the players don't match.
@ybot321 you seem to making the assertion that 'dawsonmadness' aka ''hmm... the bass is unplugged.'' did not enjoy the music where as there is a high possibility that they did in fact enjoy the song but just so happened to leave a jokey type remark which is put on almost every video on youtube. Now fellow youtuber, i urge you not to be such a idiotic moron when it comes to reading & interpreting comments on youtube and lashing out with unecessary taboo language and insults :) good day.
It's TV from the '50s... of course it's playback. Nobody did real live TV performances back then. (Not that they do a lot of that nowadays either... :p )
Bass is unplugged :( It's edited like the stuff! Ramones songs? "generate CLEAN heat as opposed to "steam" Beatles "try c/ a little help frum their friends :(
LMAO "vintage version" this is basically an overdubbed music video. mics couldn't handle the job at the time. you'll notice the guitarist is unplugged. Altho he's certainly playing and singing along. I'm pretty sure that's not "natural" slap back vocals lol
@GoliathGrowler yea i know lol me and some friends were sittin in music class one time and the teacher goes "were gonna be reveiwing 50's music!" and me and two friends go "goodness graciouse gret balls of fire!" i dnt think our teachers ever been so shocked...lol
get off the cousin already....it was a common practice back then...elvis also was married to a 14 yr old...big deal ...its been going on since biblical times...we are all related some how
@baretta369 Its a danger to future generations. Birth defects can sometimes be seen in just one generation. Anyways its perverted and disgusting. What king of freak marries a child. The fact that you support child abuse is shocking and disgusting. I hope someone finds you and shows you what abuse feels like...what a dumbass freak.
@raccoongirl100 Supports child abuse? Not what he said. Make sure you know the difference between abuse and love. Last I heard, they actually loved each other, he didn't force her into anything. Just because it is illegal doesn't mean it is wrong. On the other hand, in my opinion first cousin is a little too closely related, second cousin would be where I draw the line.
@gladys12373 Yes it is pedophilia. Pedophilia is when an adult is sexually interested in children. What I'm saying is that it isn't necessarily wrong. Illegal (these days) but not ethically wrong. The human body is ready for sex the moment the female gets her period, so it isn't genetically wrong.
@gladys12373 Maybe, but only for discussions sake. I'm not a pedophile, I'm not sexually interested in children. I'm not arguing this in order to spark a rebellion to change the law, I think the law is fine as it is and changes will lead to child abuse. Children can't exactly legally defend themselves...What I'm arguing is that, provided the child (for lack of a better term) agrees with the idea, it is not ethically wrong. Now please either stop arguing or answer my previous question.
So talented! I saw him in a club in Dallas and he put on maybe the best show in a club that I have ever seen! Just remembered I never did drink another Vodka Collins ever again. So, you will all have to judge for yourselves. lol
even though im 15, and stuck in middle school, i LOVE this SONG!! I first got into it when i went on a field trip to New York. it was a play we went to called the Million Dollar Quartet! ^_^
@dinomahmutovic10 Wasn't unusual back then to marry so young and to marry their cousins, Loretta Lynn got marry at 14 to a man who was much older than her. Just enjoy the music
if your song is covered by a a guy like Iggy Pop (wild child), you got to be doin something right, yes? I always wanted to now why the call JLL 'The Killer'?
Watching Jerry Lee play gives me solace. If he ever decides to retire from music, he could be the worlds fastest stenographer. Look at his fingers go!!!

i love this song but hate him because i recently learned that he was in his twenties when he married his third wife. SHE WAS 12 AND HIS COUSIN!!!! her parents were not happy with that choice
ok, back then it was ok to marry at that much of an age difference. Yes she was his cousin, 2nd cousin twice removed, if ur going to judge him, know all the freakin facts. And he loved her and she loved him, so back off, please!
now that is a man who loves his wife. He was proud to call her his wife, and he didnt care who disagreed! THAT MY FRIENDS IS A REAL MAN!!!!!! thumbs up if u think so!
