RISCA LYRICS IN THE BLUES

  • Summary

    RISCA LYRICS IN THE BLUES             (INSTRUMENTAL BY W.T.S.B.A)
    THERE'S ONE MORE STYLE OF BLUES TO TALK ABOUT.
    A FAMOUS NAUGHTY SONG CALLED  "MY DING-A-LING, WRITTEN BY CHUCK BERRY WAS PERFORMED BY DOUG CLARK AND THE HOTNUTS, FROM CHAPEL HILL. THEIR THEME WAS CALLED "HOT NUTS", MEANING HOT PEANUTS, "GET UM WHY YOU CAN". EVERY SHOW THE FAB PLAIDS DID A SONG CALLED "COOL ME OUT", WHICH HAD A CHORUS, "JUMP ALL OVER ME, SET MY BODY FREE, USE ME UP, LOVE ME OUT, BAKE ME IN YOUR OVEN, GIRL I NEED YOUR LOVIN', MAKE ME SHOUT, COOL ME OUT". TODAY THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED PROVOCATIVE.
    BUT, BLUES ARTIST BACK IN THE MID 50's BEGAN RECORDING SONG LYRICS WITH DOUBLE MEANINGS THAT GOT SOME UNFAVORABLE MENTION. OF COURSE, YOUNG FOLK INTERPRETED RISCA LYRICS ONE WAY, MOST LIKELY THEIR PARENTS ANOTHER WAY. AND CHURCH GOERS WERE RIGHT, BUT THEY ALWAYS HAD A FIT IF YOU WOULD NOT TOW THEIR LINE, HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER.
    IN DECIDING WHAT TUNES TO RECORD @ REFLECTIONS STUDIO FOR BOTH THE FAB PLAIDS AS WELL AS W.T.S.B.A., OUR PRODUCER NELSON LEMMOND'S DECISIONS FOR HIS SELECTIONS FINALLY BOILED DOWN TO "SEXY WAYS", "JUST ASK THE LONELY" AND "IT WONT BE THIS WAY ALWAYS" PLUS SEVERAL OTHER ORIGINAL HITS PREVIOUSLY MADE POPULAR BY BLUES/BEACH ARTISTS. 
    AFTER ASKING OUR OPINIONS, HE MULLED IT OVER, THEN MADE GREAT PICKS, BOTH TO RECORD/MARKET TO  VARIOUS RECORD LABELS. THE FAB PLAIDS RECORDED "SEXY WAYS" ON CHRIST BEACHLEY'S  'IT WILL STAND' RECORD LABEL, 1982, BACKED BY 'B' SIDE "IT WONT BE THIS WAY ALWAYS". ANOTHER SUCCESS THAT SURPRISED US ALL WAS "JUST ASK THE LONELY" WHICH  LASTED LONGER THAN "SEXY WAYS". BUT, THINK ABOUT THAT CONTRAST, SAD(LONELY) VS EXCITED(SEXY). NELSON HAD INCREDIABLE VISION FOR HIS AGE. HOWEVER,  IT TOOK  BOTH HIS MONEY AND HIS PERSUASION TO CLOSE THE DEAL.
     "SEXY WAYS" HAD SOME VERY POPULAR FOLLOWERS AS MICHAEL WAYNE, DURING LIVE SHOWS, WOULD SING 'SWISH, SWISH, SWISH YOUR TEATIES' BUT THAT WAS NOT THE REAL LYRICS TO HANK BALLARD ORIGINAL HIT. OUR AUDIENCES INTERPRETED IT TO MEAN THAT SINCE ANOTHER LINE IN THE SONG WAS WIGGLE,WIGGLE WIGGLE TIL YOUR HIPS FALL OFF THE BONE. SHAGGERS WENT FOR IT. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU PUT IT ON THE RADIO, WHAT THE PUBLIC LIKES. SO THAT IS THE PRIMARY CAPITAL INFUSION RISK. ANYWAY,  GALS LOVED TO HEAR WAYNE SING IT.
    TWO OTHER POSSIBILITIES ALMOST MADE IT, AN OLD BLUES TUNE CALLED "MY BIG TEN INCH('RECORD OF MY FAVORITE BLUES')", AND ANOTHER ORIGINAL HIT  "MEET ME WITH YOUR BLACK DRAWERS ON", BUT A FEMALE HAD TO SING THAT, SO IT WAS SCRATCHED. NEITHER HAD ANY VULGAR LYRICS, BUT THE WHOLE INTENTION WAS TO GET RECONITION FOR THE BLUES PERFORMER, AND THE BEACH FOLKS FAVORED IT.  RECORD LABELS ALWAYS PUSHED RISCA TO SELL THEIR ARTIST. 
    THE 5 ROYALS SONGS WERE POPULAR ON CHARTS BACK THEN. 'SCHOOL GIRL'  WAS A GREAT SHAG TUNE, AND MOST RADIO STATIONS DID NOT BAN IT, LIKE MANY OF HANK BALLARD EARLIER HITS.
    THE RISCA LYRICS TO SCHOOL GIRL - WOULD SHE, (YOU THINK SHE WOULD'NT)     COULD SHE, (OH, YOU THINK SHE COULD'NT)              DO SHE, (YOU THINK SHE DONT)                                  WILL SHE, (YOU THINK SHE WONT)                           (OH, OH, OH, OH), BUT SHE WILL&n
