The Swallows - It Ain't The Meat free for downloading

I first heard this song when I was 11 (only pushing 30...thankfully my grandmother played old music) this song sounded so good but I was curious as to what they were talking about. I'm like "grandma, what are they talking about?" She looked at me for a minute and replied "they're talkin bout cuttin meat" Years later I know that's not the case..lol. wonderful song nonetheless!

I'm going to ask my great-grandparents if they know this song. This should be interesting.

This is a wonderful period where jazz influences ( in guitar solo),  blues, and the vocal harmonies that typified late 40's vocal groups, but would soon morph into do-wop  all appear together.  Far more than a novelty record.. this is an historical document of the emergence of rock and roll.

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes did a good version of this too.

eeeehh...did I hear an electric guitar here?..the Solo

My husband's granddad. Mr eddie Rich. He is still performing.

"She wraps all around me like a rubber band" holy shit i just realized what that meant, i thought he was talking about hugs :(

Should a band that sing songs like that realy call themselves "the swallows"?

its weird to hear old music that is kinda dirty I always picture those times as being all clean cut and prude and stuff.. but I guess obviously no matter what time it is everyone has sex lol.

Blue light party music at it's best.

The crazy ones brought me here!

The Spits drool!!!
