Rockabilly

Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, dating to the early 1950s in the United States, especially the South. As a genre it blends the sound of Western musical styles such as country with that of rhythm and blues, leading to what is considered "classic" rock and roll. Some have also described it as a blend of the bluegrass style with rock and roll. The term "rockabilly" itself is a portmanteau of "rock" (from "rock 'n' roll") and "hillbilly", the latter a reference to the country music (often called "hillbilly music" in the 1940s and 1950s) that contributed strongly to the style. Other important influences on rockabilly include western swing, boogie woogie, jump blues and electric blues.

Defining features of the rockabilly sound included strong rhythms, vocal twangs and common use of the tape echo, but the progressive addition of different instruments and vocal harmonies led to its "dilution". Initially popularized by artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Bob Luman and Jerry Lee Lewis, the influence and success of the style waned in the 1960s; nonetheless, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, rockabilly enjoyed a major revival through acts such as Stray Cats. An interest in the genre endures even in the 21st century, often within a subculture. Rockabilly has left a legacy, spawning a variety of sub-styles and influencing other genres such as punk rock.

Rockabilly

by: Spunge

You ever felt like you're gonna chuck up
You try to speak but it comes out mucked up
Well that's just the way she made me feel
I know I shoudn't, no I shouldn't pull her hair
But it's a kids sign of affection
And I still ain't got nowhere
I sat behind her in almost every lesson
She drove me mad with that gingham dress on
And those little ribbons in her hair
She had a brother in the year above her
So I wrote, told him that I bugged her
He got all my stuff stuck in a tree
Yes I confess, I may well be a pest
But I'm not gonna change, so let it go...
She had a brother and he threatened to hit me
So I turned round and ran home quickly
Hid under the stairs for quite a while
I like to remember my days at school
I always was the classroom fool
Best thing about playtime was kiss chase
Yelling swear words with your mates
Not finding out what it meant till it's too late
And you're grounded for the day
Giving your mate's an atomic wedge
Or finding pornos in the hedge
Ringing doorbells and running away
