For the 5th installment of the series, we have a song that uses a rockabilly term for a “great body” and takes it a step further. A long time ago, a friend told me about overhearing a guy say, “That Kellie Parr… she used to be HOT!” Ha! Compliment? Hmmm…I’m not so sure but it got me thinking. Later, when I heard the term “classy chassis”, I thought the “classy” part could actually go a bit more retro – like all rockabilly – and mean the vintage, older version of that particular “great body”. All of my scattered thoughts on the subject (plus my love of automotive & rockabilly terminology) gelled into this song about a pretty, sassy girl… with each verse covering both the youthful version (“hippest, rockin betty” & “red hot queenie”…see pic – that’s me in college!) and the older, more experienced woman she is today (“hot-rod mama” & “vintage model”). Slightly autobiographical? Perhaps! Click HERE for the album version on bandcamp.com or click below for a new YouTube video from our performance at Shrimp & Grits Fest a few weeks ago. I definitely was HOT on that one… hot and sweaty, that is! Hope you enjoy the song… and let me know what you think. Hot or not?? 😊
Thanks for listening, KP
P.S. Hope you can join me for dinner at The Fish Dock tomorrow night, 7-10pm.
