And even now, when I hear a Chuck Berry song, I think, "Yeah, my kids are gonna LOVE this!" And I don't even have kids. Miss you so much, Cynaera...love this song... |

A staple in Rock 'N Roll for sure. Grown tired of it, but an important staple nonetheless.

Always makes me smile listening to the drummer. That cymbal is still swinging - he don't get this new four square rock thing yet....

And it never gets tired, like other rock n' roll songs (even other great ones).
I wonder — why is that?
It's the same reason that foundation stones under massive buildings never crumble under the weight of the structure. This is one of those songs that everything springs off of. Love a good guitar, this song has it. Love lyrics with a story, here ya go. Love a catchy yet complex rhythm, now you have it. Like many Beatles tunes, this one song is deep in the DNA of modern rock. |
