Big Ten Inch Record

Artist: Derrick Stout Orchestra

Album: Aristocratic Blues

Song Length: 2:14

George's Thoughts: Lots of fun, well suited to the Jive. Made popular by Aerosmith. The words "Big Ten Inch" of course refer to the size of an LP record, but the lyrics are meant to be tongue-in-cheek in their suggestions. The rockabilly beat fits the Jive perfectly. Unfortunately it is much too fast, so DJs will have to slow it down to a more danceable tempo with their magic tools. Apparently there is a strict-tempo version already set to a slower pace but I don't have it yet so I'm not sure how it compares.

Song Lyrics:

Got me the strangest woman
Believe it, this chick's no sinch
When I wanna get her goin'
Then I whip out my big ten inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said now stop that jivin
Now whip out your big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

I'll cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she puts on my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

My gal don't go smokin'
And liquor just makes her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just loved my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
