GUEST,Clive Pownceby | Not Last Night But The Night Before-rhyme (163* d) | RE: Not Last Night But The Night Before-rhyme | 22 Mar 11 |
Rufus Thomas' 'Jumpback' uses the "not last night etc." and the "24 robbers/rolling pin" phraseology in much the same way that other New Orleans R&B examples would draw on children's rhyming songs - 'Iko, Iko' fr'instance. One only has to think of Shirley Ellis' 'Clapping Song' to see how essentially, good-time 50/60s black music would go down this route when it was stuck for a lyric or two! |
