Fanny Mae-Buster Brown-original song-1959

[booboofan1]

love it seems like back then they could actully sing and nothing was auto tuned

[cryrocker]

Is it weird for someone under 18 to think a 1932 Duece Coupe is cool ? I THINK NOT ! Cool is cool . It can be timeless just like good music. In this song the hook is the harp; and ofcourse the call for help "well I want sombody, to tell me what's wrong with me ? " It is almost as good as Dylan "Once upon a time ..."

[Mr32ducecoupe]

@cryrocker Dude its not wrong im 16 and i own an American graffiti clone 32 duce coupe i race around town a little bit and show off...its always been my dream car ....so no its not weird to think a 32 duce coupeis cool...Theyr cool as hell.

[galoon]

Good choice! I love this song--the Chicago blues sound at its best!

[louiseduvee]

@mrwarmth21 Yes, this is good for that!

I wish the Stones wouldn't so blatantly rip off my favourite songs, but I love the results.

[HaxoAngmark]

I first heard this song on the radio, in 1959. I was 10 years old. Thought it was the weirdest damn thing I'd ever heard (what does a suburban California white kid know about R&B?). Now it sounds nostalgic but normal. I can't say which is better.

[gwonderwmn]

OMG!  I DO remember the slop!

[djimi66]

Help Me Rhonda, help help me rhonda

I'm the under assistant, west coast pro mo man ...

(influences in pop music are great - and all three are great songs)

[michmich1962]

I have the double album of American Graffity and I always considered this song to be the best of them all. Thanks for posting this.

[dakarlion1]

great song

[ggkolar]

Do you all remember to dance the Slop back in the day,good Lord i feel the heat coming off of my feet smoking baby, smoking.

It's cool to us cuz back then we didn't know any better.

[CheckMate657879]

Why do people attach so much significance to age when it comes to music? Music belongs to anyone in any time period. Humans write and perform music. Times change but people never change. We have the same basic wants and desires no matter when we live. We aren't surprised when people like Mozart, et al. None of us lived when that music was written. We're far removed from the 16th, 17th or 18th century. Yet, on some level we relate to the music. Why? Humans wrote it,

[BobBerkeley]

Didn't Dick Dale record an instrumental version of "Fannie Mae"?

[stupidshitsucks]

HEY, KUBOTADUDE..THE KEY IS "F" & the progression is C, B flat and C then F.

[stupidshitsucks]

WOW!!! THANKS!! Just call me "Lost in the Fifties!"

Ross

[stupidshitsucks]

WOW!!! THANKS!!  Just call me "Lost in the Fifties!"

[dahlizard]

The man may never have reached notoriety in the media, but I will never forgetr him. I'm 70 amd still love this type of music.

[mpsicily]

In the 1960's at night if you tuned into XPRS 1090 AM late at night you could hear Wolfman Jack blasting 250,000 watts on the airwaves in violation of FCC rules limits of 100,000 watts but since the repeater was just across the border in Mexico there was nothing that the FCC could do about it..........Love those days and really miss them.....

[mpsicily]

Bob Falfa's 1955 Chevy also appeared in what other movie prior to American Graffiti???

Yes = Two Lane Blacktop.......

[titostacos]

@mpsicily the same car?  How'd that happen? Or do you just mean the same make and model?

[mpsicily]

@titostacos No the exact same car, in fact there were 3 of them at one point. If you watch 2 Lane Black Top, when they pull into the gas station at some point near the beginning of the movie, the gas station attendant who comes out to talk to them (the big burly guy) he is actually the one who physically built the 3 cars. Then the producers of American Graffiti bought the cars and had them repainted gloss black. If you listen very carefully to the engines in both movies they are the same.

[mpsicily]

Love that shot of "Toad" in Steve's 1958 Chevy........American Graffiti simply the best Americana movie out there.........And of course Rock n Roll ain't never gonna be the same without the "Wolfman" on the airwaves.........

[tommag82]

Nice Video

[nymphsfield2]

Wow!!!!! Thanks for sharing...Love It!

[laidyeh]

OMG, my grandfather used to play this song...may he RIP..wow brings back wonderful memories...

[housedart]

[jonei84]

muito bom! gostei para caramba!

[kubotadude]

Does anybody know the musical key this is played in?

[benreturns]

F. Unless my guitar has slipped out again, in which case it would be E :P

[B4BoomersBlockBoy7]

If you didn't have rhythm then you simple could not dance to this song. it have skill moves only a really good dancer could master

[ToeIn2194]

Great piece of Americana teen history

[AniTabOngtOke]

.. I played this record over and over....( and I loved the movie) when i was younger .. As i grew into a "teen" got into punk & one of ma all time and still now is the Cramps... ..Then later on in my 20's I was in the "Ska"../ punk / mod scene...

I forgot... "a piece" of the puzzle of who I am I'm just realizing that this record as a child was part of the puzzle ( for me) like a forgotten seed...

Moment of musical clarity...

what a trip...

[AniTabOngtOke]

Correction: *All time favs The Cramps*

[titostacos]

@AniTabOngtOke were you into the Specials?

[queensheba57]

Glad you enjoyed...

[queensheba57]

Awesome song......use to love to do the East Texas Push to it

[9mej]

supperb i love this track

[assenthia]

This was "Bop" music. R&B back

in the late 50's. Alot of great songs.

A great era.

[willieflie]

If it got any better than this I don't think I could stand it !

[aimvet57]

me, too

[hah13]

he recorded under a different name that was more popular..not sure who it was

[wizardtamer]

Is it weird for somebody under 18 to like this song i think so.

[pb0o6]

i must be weird

[CheckMate657879]

Really??? I was about 9 or 10 the first time I heard this song and I loved it the first time I heard it.

Thanks - AK47... for posting this song - brings back many pleasant memories of loving all genres of music - for the sake of the music, itself.

[jmiceli63]

wizardtamer I too am weird and love this music! : D None of my friends understand xp this is quality music!

[tommag82]

@wizardtamer No my kids love the entire album.

[countrysinger1952]

@wizardtamer I don't think so.

[themoparguy]

@wizardtamer Not at all. I'm 20 now but I liked listening to this stuff as a little kid.

[Flaviovic]

MANNNNN I got the 45 !Way back when i was a kid growin up to be a BLUS Brother!!

[greattoucan]

Speaking of the Rolling Stones, somebody try to tell me that they don't owe Buster Brown for "Underassistant West Coast Promotion Man!"

[mahkindofmusic]

Sure they do as do the Beach Boys for "Help me Rhonda"

[greattoucan]

Whoever found this and put it up, thank you very much. It's a great harp song out of my childhood, and I haven't heard it since some of Wolfman Jack's shows back in the '60's on XERB. A classic!

[Silverado262SS]

When I hear this song, I can see that guy revving at Toad when Toad's sitting at the light in that '58 Impala

[1pollo1rabbit]

@Silverado262SS "Whatyou got in there kid?"Reply:"More than you can handle."Great movie.Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of this scene too.

[1jtv]

The music really WAS better back then..the front runner of cool

[9mej]

i love this track its fantastic his harp solo is great

[ToeIn2194]

been trying to find this...thanks big time!

[oldgordo61]

A song to listen to when you hear about the callapse of finiancial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac....

[irishlad1420]

great film love it to bits

and it has a fantastic soundtrack

[gangerollo]

saying, about one of Rolling Stones elepanthias world tours (where they had included Eddie Cochran's, "Twenty Flight Rock)that they with 511 channels barely reached the level, of what teenage Eddie, with a mono ampliefier did. So true.

[gangerollo]

I bough an LP with Buster Brown in the '80s and there were great RocknRoll on it. Hmmm, I have read about oldies radio...I suppose they play the same over and over. We had, in Sweden in the '80s, a guy who had a radio program called "Bip Bam Bom" (try and get that song, it's a killer RockaBilly) and he know his act and you really learned a thing or two listening, as he had the '50s RnRoll bible in his head, and was sarcastically funny as i saying...

[sweetbean59]

oh yes seen this movie when i was 14 loved it

i had a crush on john in the coupe hahha

[titostacos]

I heard this in the seventies on oldies radio before they started playing the same 200 songs over and over...

[rencenmusic]

oh boy, I've been trying to fing this for a long time. Thanks for posting. Keep groving.

[srv1971]

OH!I really crazy about this movie

I love this!!I remenbering teen age memories.

Thanks!!
