Many, many times over the years I've called oldies stations requesting The Kids and never, never are they played. The jerks follow the top twenty list as if minefields exist beyond it. Thank God for this medium. I seldom listen to oldies radio anymore.

There are probably more rockabilly bands outside the US than inside today.

We love Eddie, Gene, Buddy, Hal, Sleepy, the Kids , Don, Johhny. You nsame it. they are played by bands every day here in Euorope.

Tomorrow they have annocunced a live segment on national television from a rockabilly rave her in Denmark.

great music



[Jeff Chase]

(chorus)

Come on and rock and roll the polka now

Come on and rock and roll, we'll show you how

Up on your feet and then, you hop and skip and jump

That crazy beat will keep on umpa umpa umpa umpa

So rock and roll around the town

Rock and roll the polka 'til the record runs down

Drop another dime in, play it one more time

And then we'll rock and roll it again

[Jeff Chase]

(verse)

On the corner, by the malt shop

Where the kids go after school

They're never late to meet their date

Sitting at the counter stool

Have a soda, have a sundae

Make it cherry coke or lime

Gotta check the juke box platters

Hey, who's got the dime?

[Dethmasheen]

Missing Bobwurst... :(

Great talent. Better than anything today.

[TL250Rider]

Check out the Double Neck

Jimmy Page would be proud.

This is fantastic

[Kalea Salvador]

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? I can't really understand them!

[ethicomm]

Must have been sort of weird to see a little kid playing a double neck electric guitar back then.

[Khultan]

Ha ha ha those jerks are terrified of losing their jobs and those radio station managers are imbeciles for doing this era dirty.
