I found a huge stack of my grandpa's old 45 records the other night and this was in there, i thought it was fuckin great.

I also used to listen to this song on radio when I was a child many years ago. This is my 1st time hearing it as an adult, but it's funny, I still remembered most of the words and was ready to sing along as it ended "I'll never let my short, fat Fanny go---TOOOM!" I sang it that way as a kid, haha.

I thought this was going to be a spoof of Long Tall Sally. I saw The Beatles covered it in the Get Back sessions, so I thought it was just another one of those things where John screws around with the lyrics.

I HOPE THE PERSON THAT SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD IS BURNING IN HELL !!!

With this and 'Bonie Moronie' there should be an 'All Average Ashley' or something...

Why is this guy not famous as Little Richard, Elvis, Bill Halley or Chuck Berry? He´s got more great Rock N Roll songs than all of them! I had only red his name on the composer´s credits in the Beatles covers. He was really talented!

I lived in Atlanta from 56 to 60 . Nancy Danforth , my 16 year old neighbor gave me a bunch of 45s - this was one of em . I was about 4 or 5 . I took it to Joanie Lacefields house and we played it . Her mother came in and broke the record cuz it said a cus word . Yes friends Fanny was a cus word . When the mom walked out of the room I told Joanie -it's ok I have another copy of that one . LOL
