tell me about it......

a song written by Gene Vincent from 1956





Well Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.


Well, she's the gal in the red blue jeans
She's the queen of all the teens
She's the woman that I know
She's the woman that (scream) loves me so.
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
(Let's rock)


Well, now she's the woman that's got that beat
She's the woman with the flyin' feet
She's the woman that walks around the store
She's the woman that yells (scream) more, more, more, more.
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don? mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
(Let's rock again, now)


Well Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.

From which Song on his Gravestone the Notes are.

Great pics!  But I don't know what is scarier: crazed Beatles going for Gene's throat or that odd-looking crew on the stairs.  

Poor, Vincent Eugene, sounds like he drank himself to death.  

And the song on the gravestone better be Be-Bop-a-Lula or somebody's got some 'splainin' to do.  

damn dirk....is it be bop a lula????
yeah gene coughed up his lungs on his mom and dads floor after a 3 day bender......

I've been listening to Gene and Eddie on a BBC recording.  It's great.  I like the Brit announcer asking so politely if Eddie has finished his hamburger and will do another number.  The girls asking for dedications are hilarious.

its a pity rock-a-billy never soared to the heights it so richly deserves after all blue suede shoes is a rock-a-billy tune....

Carl Perkins, Carl Perkins, Carl Perkins!  

You gotta love him.  Let's all get dixie-fried.  

It's a shame that by the late sixties he was relegated to Johnny Cash's touring band.  I've got a Dylan boot with Johnny with Carl on it.  They're playing Carl's versions of songs like Matchbox and Johnny is feeding Dylan the words, while Carl chugs along dutifully on guitar (playing some nice fills).  It's a shame no one said, "Hey, Carl, you sing a verse."

But Carl does play an awesome part on Boy Named Sue from Folsom Prison.  Johnny had an incredibly tight band at that point.

yeah johnny cash was the mess in the 60's......the man in black will never be replaced.

gene used to play other peoples songs during his show...he got alot of heat for that because sometimes the artist had not released them yet....

I'm surprised that in Lennon interview book (from right before his death), John doesn't mention Gene among his other "idols" like Buddy, Elvis, Carl, etc.
