Skull and cross Bones ... Sparkle Moore 1956

B-side to rock-a-bop.
Fraternity F-751 1956/Nov. 17


Real name Barbara Morgan. Born 1939 in Omaha, Nebr.
Rockabilly bombshell Sparkle Moore was born Barbara Morgan in Omaha in 1939.
The quintessential bad girl, she dressed in leather (and often in men's clothes),
with her short blonde hair greased back in an Elvis Presley-styled pompadour
--dubbed "Sparkle" in honor of a supporting character in the "Dick Tracy" comic strip,
she signed to the Cincinnati-based Fraternity label to issue her debut single,
the hiccupping "Rock-a-Bop," in late 1956, and though still just 17 years old she toured the U.S.
in support of the record, even opening for Gene Vincent at the peak of his fame.
(A planned appearance on radio's Grand Ol' Opry was canceled due to a bout with laryngitis, however.)
The sultry yet sinister "Killer" followed in 1957,
but soon after Moore learned she was pregnant and abruptly quit performing to focus on raising a family .

Skull And Crossbones Lyrics


you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you're a menace to women, better lock you up in prison
'cause you're like child that's drivin' everyone wild

uh-uh-uh, a big x that means a-crossbones
i said, a big x that means a-crossbones
my heart sighs, my heart moans
then it cries and then it groans

you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
well, you're a jinx to my soul, oh baby
you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
'cause you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you're a menace to women, better lock you up in prison
'cause you're like child that's drivin' everyone wild

you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you're a menace to women, better lock you up in prison
'cause you're like child that's drivin' everyone wild

uh-uh-uh, a big x that means a-crossbones
i said, a big x that means a-crossbones
my heart sighs, my heart moans
then it cries and then it groans

you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
well, you're a jinx to my soul, oh baby
you should be labelled with a skull and a-crossbones
'cause you're a jinx to my soul, oh yeah
you're a menace to women, better lock you up in prison
'cause you're like child that's drivin' everyone wild
