nicolewe Nov 13, 2010 - 16:57 | Why, this song is making me want to go to kansas city. not really, but the song is good.   |
Daveinbawlmer Jul 09, 2005 - 21:27 | Ok, like back when I was a kid I knew this guy that had a bigassed convertible buick and we glued/roped a pair of steer horns to the hood of the buckmaster and cruised to the beach smoking cigars and drinking beer and playing this song over and over. Memories, eh! |

Well, I guess you had to be there (listening to him, I mean, not in Kansas City)...but it does sort of give pause to consider what exactly is meant by the reference. But that's beside the point. As usual, a great old original recording. I was watching Jim Lampley one time on a satellite feed. He was in a commercial break but the feed was still rolling for those of us with a C-Band satellite. He hawked up a big loogey and spit on the floor. It was great. |
ChicoCyclist Jun 10, 2005 - 11:07 | A monumental classic. Thanks for playing this Bill...truly meeting the standard of the eclectic, intelligent radio. |

BGGA Apr 27, 2005 - 12:23 | This was one of my favorite songs that played at the roller rink when I was a kid. I loved this song because it was really good to two-step to.
Thanks for the blast-from-the-past Bill, you really know how to make this listener smile. |
Shesdifferent Apr 27, 2005 - 12:23 | Interesting to hear you play this one, the original version is the best I think...I use to listen to this on the juke box in my parents bar when I was but a wee lass. Now I am one of those crazy little women! |

Or how about the Beatles version? Yes, even the Beatles covered this tune, with Paul on vocals. I was quite the Beatle freak in 5th grade..... |

BigPete Mar 29, 2005 - 04:09 | One of the greatest songs in the history of music. I am convinced people will still be groovin' to this one in 500 years. I mean it. |

maximinimalist Mar 14, 2005 - 11:06 | I've always wondered who sang this song. Now I know. |
Shimmer Mar 14, 2005 - 11:06 | I'm sure this is more authentic, but I like the Beatles' version. |
Mark1970 Mar 14, 2005 - 11:05 | Awesome! I remember having this 45. Great childhood flashback.... thanks Bill!!!
