Johnny Otis - Crazy Country Hop

 
0
Copied!

{Verse 1}
Way down in a country town one day
A little, old country band began to play
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone
When the leader said go them cats began to blow

{Chorus}
Ooh wee oh oh
Ooh la la, let's rock and roll

{Verse 2}
Now all the people gathered around
Just to dig that rocking-rolling sound
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell

{Chorus}

{Verse 3}
Old McDonald did a crazy bop
Said it’s time to milk my cow, I got to stop
But just before I cool it and cut out
Here's something all you cats can think about

{Chorus}

{Verse 4}
Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag
She latched onto a cat who showed up stag
He tried to run and then he tripped and fell
She kissed him and we all could hear him yell

{Chorus}

{Verse 5}
Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town
Brought him to the dance and laid him down
Someone hollered skunk and you can bet
All them country cats is running yet

{Chorus x2}

Biography

Johnny Otis (birth name Loannis Alexandres Veliotes) was born December 28, 1921 in Vallejo, California. He began his musical career in 1939 as a drummer for the Count Otis Matthew’s West Oakland House Rockers. At the recommendation of Nat “King” Cole and Jimmy Witherspoon, he moved to Los Angeles and joined Harlan Leonard’s Kansas City Rockets.

In 1945 at the head of his own band, he had his first big hit with his rendition of “Harlem Nocturne”. In 1948, he’d opened The Barrelhouse in L.A. exclusively featuring Rhythm & Blues music. By 1950, he had ten songs in the Billboard Best Selling Rhythm & Blues Records list. He soon started being a radio DJ, a career that lasted almost 50 years, which led to a TV variety show “The Johnny Otis Show” in L.A. for eight years.

Otis is credited with discovering such talents as Ester Phillips, Willie Mae “Big Momma” Thorton, Etta James, The Robins (who later became The Coasters), and Jackie Wilson.

He had charted singles from 1948 (“That’s Your Last Boogie”) through 1969 (“Country Girl”).

Johnny has been inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He was dubbed the “King of Rock & Roll” and the “Godfather of Rhythm & Blues”.

He is the father of Shuggie Otis. He died on January 17, 2012.
