"Hey, if that was Chuck Berry he's lookin' good in my neighborhood!" Great line:)

I notice that on the CD "Pink Soup" version of this song has backing vocals on the choruses (Hey Chuck Berry!) and live here there are none. Also that looks like the Peter Frampton type three pick up black Les Paul guitar the singer is using. It's a beautiful sounding guitar.
