Little Richard - best hairdressing salesman EVER!

Posted over 2 years ago
Some years ago I bought the box set of Little Richard's recordings for Specialty RecordsIncluded therein is a short promo segment where Little Richard is recording various takes pitching the pomade Royal Crown HairdressingIt's amazing. He approaches this with tremendous energy and enthusiasm, and no take is even remotely the same. He's just riffing to beat the band. Kinda like his glorious music.

    ivylander says This is truly Clio-winning stuff - a ton better than that lame-o Geico ad.

    dermahrk says He is actually saying "even Long Tall Sally use it". Long Tall Sally is one of his big hits, covered by the Beatles, supposedly about a transvestite or somesuch.

    Sturgell says I use "Sportin' Waves" when I put my pompadore up. Maybe I should switch, I've always wanted to be more like Long Tall Sally.

    waydutch says Mark - OK, thanks, now I hear it, makes a lot more sense now. You know I heard it wrong the first time and then had it stuck like that even after a few more re-listens.

    Spike says If I don't put some mousse ("A little dab'll do ya.") on places on my scalp where the pillow had pressed my short hair the wrong way and made it stick up, my beloved will tell me I need a haircut. Little Richard was as intense as anyone in 1955.

    Mike the Knife says As Boris Badenov would say, "Natasha, get secret formula for mousse!" (Or maybe that was that "from moose.")
