[bomp] Big Bopper




Years ago, while searching through old singles in a
used record store in Barcelona, I found a copy of the
Big Bopper's "Little Red Riding Hood" on (US) Mercury
and picked it up thinking it was the same song as the
Sam the Sham song - turns out that it wasn't, but it
was still a really great song very much on an early 
Lord Sutch level. To this day that's all I've heard of
his stuff OTHER than "Chantilly Lace". I know  J.P.
Richardson wrote "White Lightning" but I don't know if
he ever recorded it. So if I ever see his album on CD,
should I pick it up - was all of his stuff up to that
level of quality? Just wondered because he gets pegged
as a one hit novelty artist. 



We talk and talk until my head explodes

I turn on the news and my body froze

The braying sheep on my tv screen

Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!
