• Track Listing

Rock and roll has a language all its own, never more so than on this wonderful 27-track collection from Ace Records that offers every nonsense-syllable song from Little Anthony & the Imperials’ Shimmy, Shimmy Ko Ko Bop to the Rivington’s Mama Oom Mow Mow (The Bird)! Plus a whole lot more intellectual triumphs in between: unreleased alternate takes of Bama Lama Bama Loo Little Richard (the king of the genre!) and Yama Yama Pretty Mama Richard Berry; Rubber Biscuit Chips; Bim Bam Don & Dewey; Heebie Jeebies Larry Williams; Ooh Poo Pah Doo Part 1 Jessie Hill; Loo-Key Doo-Key King Coleman; Ookey Ook Penguins; Voodoo, Voodoo Lavern Baker, and more.
