Here a come some Carl Perkins people!
🔥💙🎶🎸🤙😎🔥
“Boppin’ the Blues” is a 1956 rockabilly classic written by Carl Perkins and Howard Griffin. Released on Sun Records, it features Perkins’ signature driving guitar sound, syncopated rhythm, and lyrics about finding relief from the blues by hitting the jukebox and hitting the dance floor.Background and InspirationThe song tells the story of a man who is “rhythm-bound”. Despite being deeply in love, he just has an uncontrollable urge to dance and bop to the music. In a famous spoken/sung exchange in the lyrics, Perkins visits a doctor, but rather than getting a medical prescription, he is told that a handful of nickels for a jukebox is the only cure. The upbeat lyrics even mention an old man named Don throwing away his crutches after getting “rhythm and blues”.
It is considered a cornerstone of early rockabilly and has been covered by many artists including Ricky Nelson, Gene Vincent, and Brian Setzer and also the Monokids… of course !

Here a come some Johnny Cash folks!

Ring of Fire” (1963) is a iconic Johnny Cash song about the intense, destructive, and inescapable nature of love, written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore. It describes falling into a “burning ring of fire” while experiencing forbidden, passionate love for a man with a wild lifestyle.
June Carter wrote the song about her feelings for Johnny Cash while he was going through a turbulent time in his life, feeling that her love was like falling into a “burning ring of fire”. The “ring of fire” represents the perilous, “hellish” yet enticing nature of falling in love with someone self-destructive, a feeling that “burns, burns, burns”.
And now, this is the wild version of the Monokids, definitely!

“Hallelujah I Love Her So” is the debut single from American musician Ray Charles. The rhythm and blues song was written and released by Charles in 1956 on the Atlantic label, and in 1957 it was included on his self-titled debut LP, also released on Atlantic. Hallelujah I Love Her So” is a testament to the joyous release of love, featuring a sophisticated horn arrangement and memorable tenor sax solo by Don Wilkerson. Several artists, including Stevie Wonder, Peggy Lee, Eddie Cochran, and Humble Pie have successfully covered the song. The Monokids obviously keep the arrangement more electric, with a definite reference to Eddie Cochran, while still putting their own unique spin on this wonderful song!
Enjoy and stay cool!
