This legend sings and you say its fucking bad???? Your just clouded by digital re-mastering and great covers like ACDC's rendition.

Wow. I can't believe you have a &78 rpm in that great condition. You would think that great song would have worn out! Thanks for sharing.

brings back good memories

Brings back high school days, and remember all the school dances, and "hops" we used to call "sock hops" dancing in your socks. Easier to slide around and lots of fun. Young people should be exposed to this rock an roll, and blues-based music, because even in the 50"s at all these rock and roll school dances, everyone will remember we had at least one CHARLESTON dance from the 20's 30's. All young people now say "say what?"

A rare pop song where the title doesn't appear in the lyrics.....

is that a wind up ? ido remember those .

Not accidental. Berry was drawing on stock imagery from slave culture, which he inherited from the blues, e.g. the long hard work day followed by dancing and singing at night, the harsh task-master, stock phrases like "lay your burden down," etc. There is a real, if trivial, experiential resonance there, so he's playing on that tradition in a humorous way. It's a very clever song on that level, almost certainly missed by almost every one of those high kids for whom it rang such a resonant note.

It's funny how an older black guy managed to put out hit songs which embodied the concerns of white teenage kids. This song still rings true, even today.
