Wooly Bully - Long Version - Vietnam Background

Good Mid-Afternoon from the Greater Boston Area my RP Brothers and Sisters!

Yep! This is Part 2 of a two part Early/Mid-Afternoon Music Interlude! and for this Interlude I selected a song by a group known as "Sam The Sham & Pharaohs" and the song they are performing is "Wooly Bully" - It is the long version with a Vietnam Background! ...and again my RP Brothers and Sisters, this is dedicated to all Vietnam and Vietnam Era Veterans... and I believe you are going to like this song!

BACKGROUND:
"Domingo "Sam" Samudio (born February 28, 1937, in Dallas, Texas, United States), better known by his stage name Sam the Sham, is a retired American rock and roll singer. Sam the Sham was known for his camp robe and turban and hauling his equipment in a 1952 Packard hearse with maroon velvet curtains. As the front man for the Pharaohs, he sang on several Top 40 hits in the mid-1960s, notably the Billboard Hot 100 runners-up "Wooly Bully" and "Li'l Red Riding Hood".

The breakthrough hit:
After paying to record and press records to sell at gigs, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs wound up with the XL label in Memphis. There they recorded their first and biggest hit, "Wooly Bully", in late 1964. Once MGM picked up the record, "Wooly Bully" ended up selling three million copies and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 5 June 1965, at a time when American pop music charts were dominated by the British Invasion. It was awarded a gold disc.

Although "Wooly Bully" never reached #1, it lingered on the Hot 100 for 18 weeks, the most weeks for any single within the calendar year 1965, 14 of which were in the Top 40. The record achieved the distinction of becoming the first Billboard "Number One Record of the Year" not to have topped a weekly Hot 100 and remained the only one for 35 years, until Faith Hill's "Breathe" and Lifehouse's "Hanging by a Moment" in 2000 and 2001, respectively.

LYRICS:

Wooly Bully, by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Hey! Wooly bully, watch it now, watch it.
Here it comes, here it comes.
Watch it now, it'll get you.

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Hatty told Matty,
"Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

Watch it now, watch it, watch it!
YEAHHHH! Jive, jive!

Matty told Hatty,
"That's the thing to do.

Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Watch it now, watch it, here it comes!
You got it, you got it.
