What a mental track from the early 70s this is! Originally recorded in 1956 by Bo Diddley, this song reached #14 in the UK charts and stayed there for three months.
Juicy Lucy took their name from a character – a prostitute, in case you were wondering – in Virgin Soldiers, Leslie Thomas’s novel about troops serving in the Far East. Formerly a psychedelic combo called The Misunderstood, the Juicy crew struck gold with the first single from their self-titled debut album. Who Do You Love?, a crazed hard rock cover of a Bo Diddley song which got to No.14 in the UK, and stayed in the chart for three months. These days their first album is remembered for its cover, depicting a naked woman surrounded by fruit. Talk about squeeze my lemon, baby.
Cobra-snake for a necktie.
Built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
Tell me who do you love?
Who do you love, now?
Who do you love, babe?
I say: Who now, who do you love?
Just 22 and I don’t mind dying.
Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip,
Come on baby don’t give me no lip.
Who do you love?
Who do you love, child?
I said: Who, baby, who do you love?
Down the alley the ice wagon flew.
Hit a bump, somebody screamed,
Should’a heard just what I seen.
Do you love her, yeah
Do you love me, babe?
Do you love it, yeah
What do you love, now?
Love, love, love me darling.
All right, all right.
