@KlekaBarraqe

When they said "Daddy" and "little girl", this sounds very wrong somehow.

Two names: Chuck Berry and Gary Glitter. Actually, add Bill Wyman and Jerry Lee Lewis to that list, at least.

This is where Maria Muldaur got her version of the song from. Of course it got more airplay for her. Things had gotten a lot more permissive in the 20 years or so that passed between these two versions. The Swallows' version is definitely "The Real Thing," speaking of which, check out The Spiders' song, "The Real Thing." It's in that same early '50s risque vein as this song, "Sixty Minute Man" and Hank Ballard's "Annie" series.
