Annotationen

Der Song startet mit Vocals und Schlagzeug. Das wurde ein Klischee im Rockabilly. Die Nummer wurde nur ein bescheidener Hit (C&W: Platz 9, Cashbox Pop Singles: 47 und Billboard Hot 100: 70). Formal ist die Nummer ein Blues mit den typischen Dreizeilern als Strophen, wobei «Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues; it must be goin' round ...» als Refrain/Chorus dient.
