Bowdlerization | |
| Fats Domino (Music) / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: "The Fat Man" was originally a Champion Jack Dupree song called "Junker's Blues" about a heroin junkie and filled with drug references. Fats performed it live regularly before he had a record deal and the crowds loved it. When he got the chance to cut a record, everyone involved knew the song wouldn't sell well with the original lyrics, so they wrote a whole new set. "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" by Lloyd Price (with Fats on the piano) was a further rewrite of the rewrite. | |

Cover Version: Several. "Blueberry Hill" was originally by Glenn Miller. He later recorded, among others, Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart," The Beatles' "Lovely Rita", "Lady Madonna" (the original had already been done In the Style of Domino) and "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey." | |

Unbuilt Trope | |
| Fats Domino (Music) / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: His 1959 hit "Be My Guest" sounds for all the world like a Ska song, especially with the choppy rhythm guitar and the horns, except for the fact that Ska hadn't been invented yet. Indeed, Domino played a notable role in the history of Ska. He was a big star in Jamaica at the time, since New Orleans radio stations playing R&B could easily be heard there at night. He was rapturously received during a 1961 Jamaican concert tour. No less than Bob Marley himself cited Domino as one of his early music heroes. While Domino and lots of other New Orleans artists played around with rhythms and had songs which emphasized the off-beat, the way he did it on "Be My Guest", with the guitar being the dominant rhythm instrument, was hugely influential on the island's music scene. | |
