It took me a while to find this one.

The music is iffy to me, but the lyrics really grab me... especially towards the end.

Enjoy... for those who tune in.

Very cool video. Please note the mercury is DTR. No other color would do

Dang Dom, that's a new video to me, brings back a flood of memories with my '50 Merc, black of course. Rexall drug stores (soda shops), honky tonks, drive in movies, (car load for a dollar, they would check the trunks too), glass packs, spinner hub caps, chopped springs were all a part of my scene. Thanks for the video.

Don't you just love the way the girls dressed - modestly.

My dad worked for the Missouri Pacific RR in Laredo, Texas from time to time. Mom and I would visit him.

I like his work in The Stray Cats only. His solo stuff was always overkill for me for the type of music he was doing.

You might like this one too, I never heard this version before....

I have a recording of that song by Jimmy Dolan in my collection... Red's version of it on a Decca 78 is a good one too. BTW, the original video posted was well-produced with some good visual appeal.

Sure thing Rob.


Finally here's the version of the other song I have been looking for. I have this on a CD and blast it all the time. I like this version about the rest, I wish someone would do this in a Psychobilly style.
