Old dancin' Dick with his walkin' stick
Should have seen him when he got off the train
He had all the people standin' in the rain
Doin' the walkin' stick boogie
Watchin' the walkin' stick boogie
He's the fastest man that ever danced into town
He's got the fastest kick, with his walkin' stick
You should see the way that he throws it around
When he dances upside down, doin' the walkin' stick boogie
Doin' the walkin' stick boogie
He's got the people jumpin' just like the fleas on a hound
You should see the way that the chicks get their kicks
When ol' Dick gets to throw his walkin' stick
Doin' the walkin' stick boogie
Doin' the walkin' stick boogie
The joint was so hot
That the boards were flyin' off the floor
The girls all cried, when he said goodbye
They knew that the town would be on the bum
And they couldn't have anymore fun
Doin' the walkin' stick boogie, the walkin' stick boogie
It was a very sad day when ol' Dick danced out of town
Eddie Cochran (Edward Raymond Cochran; 15 ottobre 1938 – 17 aprile 1960) è stato un cantante e compositore statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del rockabilly. La sua musica, caratterizzata da ritmi veloci, riff di chitarra incisivi e testi energici, ha avuto un'influenza profonda sulla musica pop degli anni '50 e '60. Cochran nacque a Albertville, in Alabama, ma si trasferì in California durante l'infanzia. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale suonando in locali di Los Angeles prima di firmare con la Liberty Records nel 1957. Il suo primo successo fu "Summertime Blues", un brano che divenne un classico del rockabilly e raggiunse il numero uno nelle classifiche statunitensi. Altri successi includono "C'mon Everybody", "Twenty Flight Rock" e "Somethin' Else". Cochran collaborò con artisti come Gene Vincent e Jerry Lee Lewis, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e lo stile del rockabilly. La sua carriera fu purtroppo interrotta prematuramente in un incidente stradale nel 1960 all'età di soli 21 anni. Nonostante la breve durata della sua carriera, Eddie Cochran è considerato una figura fondamentale nella storia del rock and roll.
