I used to have this record, and listened to it ALL the time.

knees

@mubudubum Knees. In those days most women's skirts were below the knees. Exposing the leg above the knee was sensual. Nowadays seeing half an ass isn't much.

Yes. Although the "taboos" of the song are quite prudish by today's standards, basically the song is ever so gently suggesting the girl from Chicago is a big ol' slut.

I've got a 78 rpm original by Benny Bell. It is titled 'My fanny' . I like early rockabilly and stuff like that but this IS funny! Sure is. I think it is also on youtube, take a listen.

Wish they would post his late 70s song - Mikey and Ikey

I don't remember that B side from when I owned Shaving Cream back in the 70s, but it sure was adorable! Thanks for putting it here ;)

Most people I knew seemed to think the B side can't be played. So I started flipping records over just to be weird. Found a lot of gold on the other side. :D

@1LoFi45

I often preferred B-sides.

I had a collection of Benny Bell songs on 8-track. Wish I could find them on CD, as the tape has melted.
