[thedirtyhippie01]

Rock N' Roll. A euphamism for fucking.

[inglwdzep]

what documentary is this or what movie is this i wanna know

[johnnyweep59]

lesser known? only by people who havent listened to Rockabilly in any depth.

[JAARNO88]

i always thought this was a rewrite of heartbreak hotel/ money honey . just record produces trying to jump on the elvis success bandwagon. It is a good record in its own right tho.

[loveyourwhiteshoes]

Love the song, Check out my Be bop a lula

Thank you!!!

[dkfelix]

Go and take a glass of tranquilizers and then come back

[MAGICO240]

These song is very close to Elvis Money Honey. just try it and you will notice it right away.

[jsilence418]

I think McCartney was just pointing out how original, and how good these old rock n roll tunes were.

[Wellch]

Gene Vincent probably is one of the lesser known good performers from that era.

[Jnkdog]

Screw Sting...or like the OP said, stink...

[jimmy59ca]

whatever happened to his son who is a singer, sure looked like his dad

[jsilence418]

Great post! Paul McCartney once said it was actually harder to write a song like Be Bop A Lula than it was to write a song like Hey Jude wow! and sting is a fucking nob!

[problem49]

You are right on the money about Sting; there should be a K at the end of his name. I saw The Police on the first date of their farewell tour and it was a struggle to keep my eyes open-the tix were free, but in retrospect I should have received compensation for tolerating their pretentious drivel.

[mrarches]

who wrote this was it mcCartney?

[rbound827]

This song was co-written by Gene Vincent and it is his biggest hit. Capital Records was looking for a new Elvis and had a nationwide contest. Vincent won, and he is the epitome of rock and Roll, with one of the greatest bands, the Blue Caps.

[mrarches]

cheers.

[rbound827]

same to you mate RIP Catman

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Nice addition to Y/T--- I'am from that other planet ;)

[MetalChick1982]

Too bad they dont mass produce records anymore, because I would buy them instead of CD's or MP3's... Dont get me wrong they still make albums, but not for every artist.

thanks for sending me this video Zim!

[dnjuan]

Viva cholula !!! jijos!!!

[CKECKECKECKE13]

ROCKABILLY!!!!!!!!

[thedps1998]

Clearly Sting hasn't studied rock records like Lennon did. "Some guy..." screams on the record. You mean Gene Vincent you soft jazz wanker?

[ChromedToes]

erm... ..He is relaying his recollections and first impressions as those of a SIX YEAR OLD kid at the time.

.. Even John Lennon would likely admit to not knowing his rock and roll history at the age of six surely?

[bobrfido]

@thedps1998 I think the screaming guy Sting was talking about was the drummer, heard screaming in 0:52 . On the original record, he wanted to make sure his family could recognize it's him, so he added the scream.

[jazzy2blue]

@thedps1998 no no no.....you also wrong the guy who s screaming is the drummer dick harrell you... rock and rollguy!!!

[eugenecraddock]

call the police and put sting in jail please

[Guitarlady02]

brilliant. John Lennon is my hero. peace&love to you all

[Erkele]

Fuckin' "sting"

[bbproductionsLA]

erke haha "came from another planet, America"

[bgoubler]

Sting isn't worthy to kiss Gene Vincent's desicated ass!

[Erkele]

Agree.
