Artist: Fats Domino
Song: Rockin’Bicycle
Album: What a Party (1961)
Antoine ‘Fats’ Domino, born 26 February 1928, became the most successful New Orleans big-band R&B million-seller of the long era between 1955 and the early 1960s: a man who gave us hit after huge, endearing hit, with a fat, simple sound and a warm, much-imitated faux-naïve voice that built many memorable self-penned songs into mountains on the music landscape. more
Rockin Bicycle is also the b-side of his 56° singles
Ain't got a Cadillac or big old De Ville
I'm just a little guy not a big tire wheel
But I can prove my love is true
On my rockin' bicycle that's built for two
We don't care if we live out of date
We don't care if we're a little bit late
Gonna make the scene baby me and you
On my rockin' bicycle that's built for two
We don't care, we don't mind
If we don't be in front, we be a-right behind
We don't care if they laugh at us
Let 'em take the bus and leave the cycle for us
They can have a Cadillac and T-bird too
But gimme my rockin' bicycle for two

Yeah, but I defy you to actually find a recording of this rare classic. I've been looking for decades.
I stand corrected. You did find it.
Sort of the theme song for this blog, no?
