Video Find(s) of the Day
I don't think many people today realize the impact Little Richard had on this country. When Tutti Frutti came to their attention White Middle America adopted it as one of its prime indicators that civilization was winding down. The expression "a-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-whop-bam-boom" was determined to be far more dangerous than anything silly Whites had ever written, including "mairzy doats and dozy doats". I even read a post-apocalyptic science fiction in the early sixties that featured a shell-shocked "last woman on Earth" who repeatedly sang Tutti Frutti, which was represented as one of the old classic folk tunes of her youth.
