Lyrics
Grampa, what's rock and roll?

Good golly Molly won't you twist and shout?
I'm sayin' Jenny, Jenny, Jenny's what the whole thing's all about.
Long Tall Sally, Little Susie and all,
The girl can't help it, she's a party doll
Bin a long time since I felt this way
C'mon let's go, tell me what I say

Chorus
And rock, in yer blue suede shoes
And roll, pay some tuitti fruitti dues
Just rock, on a little sea cruise
And roll, you got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethovan while you do the stroll
Everyday, Oh boy, it's just rock and roll


Rip it up Ready Teddy, 'fore you lose your nerve
And the whole gang's meeting down at Deadman's Curve
Shake, roll and rattle all around the clock
Toss and turnin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Oh Carol, Oh Donna and a thousand stars
Marylu and the hound dog are such reg-u-lars

Chorus

Bonie Moronie's really gonna rave on
Havin' fun, fun, fun til the break of dawn
Oh pretty woman jes watch em splish splash
Duke of Earl hoppin' at the high school bash
That'll be the day as near as I can tell
Cuz Johnny B's ringing like a mission bell

Chorus

Kind of reminds me...
...of a rock 'n' roll version one of those refrigerator magnet
things where you have a bunch of different words or phrases
you can rearrange and put together in your own unique way.
Lots of fun. Nothing better than good old, down and dirty
rock 'n' roll music.

nice rockin snow
Love that rock and shakin feel.
I hear some jerry lee lewis in your style.

Then of course some Chuch Berry and the list goes on and
on.

That must of been challenging to get those drifferent styles,
like that Beach Boys backround singing. Lots of stuff in
hear!

Good going Snow! Impressive!

Thanks T. Amazing how challenging three chords can be, eh? But Jack, Rich
and Ingo helped out big time with the vocal stuff.

go go go
go Johnny.
takes me back at the stage - playing old time rock'n roll, man.

Story is good, performance is good.

As rcandrews points out, it could do with some tweakin' of the knobs in the vox area, and maybe get that rockin' guitar up in front so it really stings a bit.

Thanks Thoddi. Like the man said: "It's gotta be rock 'n' roll music, if you
wanna dance with me."

Thanks IG. Couldn't have done it without you -- literally. And I promise, next
tune, any falsetto will be in a lower key.

Love the intro...
I started giggling at the child at the beginning...as soon as
I downloaded it I kept thinking, "I can imagine a small
child asking that as an intro to the song!" But, I don't
mean that in a bad way; great song. I really enjoyed the
guitar in it. It had a little Country flair, but still very well
done

Rock & Roll Fun
Name-Droppin' Finger-Poppin' Ain't No Stoppin' Rock &

A clever tribute. Well done, boys! :)

Thanks Joe. Damn I wish I had a snappier reply to your name-droppin',
finger-poppin, no-stoppin' line. Loved that.

Crazy fun
That's the way it felt! Yeah man! Excellent writing. Teach
your children well!
snowdragon said 1528 days ago (September 19th, 2005)
Crazy fun
Thanks RS. It was fun, wasn't it.

Perhaps it should be noted, however that the final refrain ("ski-doobie" et al)
as well as the immortal interjection "ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack" was written
by rschletty, esq.
