of a song better known as a cover version - muscular shirt-avoiding ex-junkie Iggy Pop, now four years off qualifying for free travel on the bus, took this into the Top Ten at the start of 1987, but this is the original, from Sun Records in about 1959 (all one minute 54 seconds of it), by racist paedophilic hell-raiser, and maker of some of the most exciting records ever, MISTER JERRY LEE LEWIS
From a very rare (and to be honest very patchy) LP called "Studio One Sales Conference Volume 1 1979". One of the "filler" tracks is this quite pleasant reggae/funk jam, ripped straight off ancient vinyl, so apologies for the jump. The "surprise" ending is as released mind you

It's getting dark here, even at 56.195 degrees north so it looks like the long summer nights are over till 2009b
