The first hairspray is better than the second some of the second one's songs are suckish

[Chuck1974]

Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)" ... Dee Dee Sharp's followup hit to "Mashed Potato Time" in 1962 ... love it!! Read somewhere that she passed on "Locomotion" in order to record "Gravy" so "Locomotion" ended up being recorded by Little Eva who was Carole King's babysitter, but I don't know if that's a true story. (Carole King co-wrote "Locomotion.")

youtube.com/watch?v=U1Af_TH8Fd­8 summer time song called all gravy

[normbates30]

the Older Hairspray was better than the new one when it came to the music and dancing

[normbates30]

I loved the Ricki Lake version of Hairspray, some of the music from the new one was great too, but they didnt do as much of the dances in the new one

[spededpat]

@WyattGannsGurl The Ricki Lake one was a lot better

[CloudTheTank]

@DerrickGenius It's looks to be around 1962 is when the song came out.

[ladygagamonster18]

@CloudTheTank actually 1950s ... but good guess!

[elamite66]

Geometry Teacher: Whatever you call it, it's a hair-don't.

[MrChrisjeffries]

[RamonaFromPomona]

Go baby Go baby Go..... I have this 45....

A family treasure

[caribeandude1]

I remember when I was a kid my godmother had a great Voice of Music Hi Fi console and her daughters used to play this album all the time. I really liked it back then even though I was only a child. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories

[tayishere202]

omg i remember this song. Thanks so much for this

[ldyreal]

Gravy on my Mashed Potatoes, Awesome

[susieQ128]

I had this 45 when it first came out... brings back lots of memories (:

[nonashorty926]

You and my sister too...........great memories

[dasmikey1964]

The single version of this song has so much more vitality and energy to it than the album version. I'm hoping that a CD with the single version might come out before too much longer...

[theCharlieScott]

C Am F G or 1 6m 4 5

[dhemrick]

Yeah... it seems like SO many songs from this era used that same simple chord progression. I'm not sure how anyone could get mad about it.

I love Dee Dee Sharp's music, too!

[wendyglowworm]

How about a little gravy on your mashed patatoes.

[jamesonyancey]

sounds nothing like Mr. Postman.

[cbricks009]

sounds similiar to mr.postman

[HaliB75]

"Mash Potato" by Dee Dee sounds like "Mr. Postman." The same chords were used and there was a law suit over the song. Motown was not happy with Cameo Records.

[pepiflor]

Love this song and the backing vocals

[sexpot06]

I love this song. It is so funny "I want to ride the gravy train with you" It can not get better than that.

[blinko656]

The original is great and Youtube can't pull it...

[SanjayasGF4ever]
