Live At The BBC
Anthology 2
A fine
version of Chuck Berry's song from 1957. The Beatles even
recorded it on Chuck Berry's 38th birthday, but most likely
without knowing.
It’s
also worth to note that there seems to be some confusion
about which Beatle is playing which instrument on this track.
Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick says in his book Here,
There And Everywhere that George Harrison was playing
the bass guitar, and Paul McCartney the piano. Most others,
however, have credited Paul on bass and producer George
Martin on piano.
The version
on Anthology 2 is a live recording from Tokyo.
Rock
And Roll Music
(Chuck Berry)
Just let
me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I've got
no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's
why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took
my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were goin' like a hurrican'
That's
why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down
South they gave a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started
playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't
care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to gear a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can gear some of that
Rock and
roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
