I refuse to believe that this gave nobody pause for thought anywhere along the production line. Asda are filthy bastards.

Will this flu carry me off before we all go together when we go? Will winter end before nuclear winter starts? It’s all to play for.

It doesn’t feel like a Saturday night, but according to my calendar it is one, and I reckon we could all use a little rock’n’roll medicine. 2 hours of RnR/R&B/doo-wop/rockabilly to warm the blood this freezing evening:

Heard another girl group tune yesterday with a similar intro to this great record, and it’s been floating in and out of my head ever since.

It would be nice to have a day or so when this song isn’t horribly relevant.

Played the a-side to this on the latest Haunted Jukebox but this wild little doo-wop rocker is even better (which is probably why I played it first, many shows ago).

That Imperial rockabilly compilation I got last weekend is NOT disappointing - knew it had to be good when I saw it had Hip Hip Baby on it.

‘So it’s only the Friday now?!’ - me, looking at my phone this morning. Just going to have to remind myself what day it is with songs now, like a five year old learning a foreign language.

In case you were doing more interesting things/already asleep at midnight last night, there’s a new episode of Haunted Jukebox up, brimming over with great party rock’n’roll, rhythm & blues, doo-wop, rockabilly, & more.

Content warning at the beginning of the episode of Letterkenny I just put on, on ITVX: ‘contains very strong language and adult conversation’. I’m worried by the fact that ITV considers adult conversation something that viewers must be warned of in advance in case they’d rather avoid it.

I kid you not, at the exact moment I picked up the remote to turn off the music and put a TV show on, this song started.

This is a real shoulders relaxing down, head gently bobbing with the eyes closed kinda number. Beautiful (and has also made it feel about four hours later than it is).

Brilliant doo-wop rocker, with some great guitar touches and a pinch of scorching sax.

I absolutely love Chuck Jackson’s cut of this (think it was the first of his records I ever heard and it certainly left an impression), but this version at near-breakneck speed is fucking great, too.
