    I never knew about this one before, but it just may be the most absurd cover of the decade.

    The Gadabouts cover Chuck Berry in 156.

    Another 1956er I did not know. The original is a little corny, but this version makes the original look really hip.

    Terrible catch.

    This bumps their Stranded in the Jungle to maybe the 2nd worse cover of
    all time.

    And they had the gall to keep Chuck Berry as the author even though there were lyrics changes.

    I don't think Chuck got too many checks for this one.

    I emailed it to some people and Unca Marvy had a funny comment.....

    Come on, it's got great monkey sounds. How come Chuck never thought of that!?!?

    I show Kay's same song (but slightly differently titled) "Tel Me How
    Long The Train's Been Gone" issued a month before Milburn (in December
    1949)

    Also her version has her name listed in the wrriting credits)

    I just checked and Valeida Snow's 1950 version has "Starr" in the
    writing credits too
