In a recent post, I almost went on a tangent about why The Older Generation should have appreciated Mr. Berry, rejecting that jazz about the Devil and hips and the like.

…But upon further listening, Chuck himself makes a case against friendship with the 1950s model of Ma and Pa. Thought I’d share. Viva la rock.

Soon as three o’clock rolls around/You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat/Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and ’round the bend/Right to the juke joint, you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot/You’re gotta hear somethin’ that’s really hot
With the one you love, you’re makin’ romance /All day long you been wantin’ to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe/Round and round and round we go

Hail, hail rock and roll /Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll/The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll/The feelin’ is there, body and soul.
