The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu

My online friend, RocketM mentioned that I kind of gave him the blues bug. Which made me chuckle, and I replied that if you are going to have a bug the blues bug is a good one, because you could have The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie flu. But come to think of it, that would not be too bad either.

Johnny Rivers - Rockin' Pneumonia


Lyrics
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Call some other's baby that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home
I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Jools Holland, Fats Domino and Ruby Turner

I'm a big fan of Boogie Woogie music. A musician who plays the piano very well is Jools Holland. I just recently found out about him, thanks to my online friend RocketM.

According to wikipedia;

Julian Miles "Jools" Holland OBE, DL (born 24 January 1958) is an English pianist, bandleader and television presenter. His work has involved him with many of the biggest names in the contemporary rock and popular music industry. Such as Sting, David Gilmour, Tom Jones and Bono.

Over the years he has played with most of the major musicians who play boogie woogie, here he is playing with Fats Domino, and the second video is with him, his band and the very hot, Ruby Turner.

Today I've been grooving to Jeb Loy Nichols (if that is not a cool name, I don't know what would be one). He has got one of those voices that I really enjoy.
