A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom!
What an opening line!
Apparently this was a verbal rendition of a drum pattern which Little Richard had in his head at the recording studio.
1955. Possibly the song which brought RocknRoll to the attention of the media.

And a couple of years later......You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain.
Jerry Lee Lewis, (though I think someone else wrote those lyrics). He is still touring I believe. Must be 80 odd.

If I had ever sat down to write a song I doubt whether A-wop-bom or You shake my nerves would have fallen off the tip of my pencil.
