... rock and roll all night long
Wynonie Harris termina de rockear el blues en 1947, no tanto en sentido musical-rítmico (el blues ya venía acelerándose, como rhytm & blues, desde hacía varios años), sino especialmente en sentido erótico.
"All she wants to do is rock
Rock and Roll all night long
Well, my baby don't like no fancy clothes
High class dinners or picture shows
When it comes to lovin', she knows what it's about
But when she huckle-bucks she knocks me out"
"Todo lo que ella quiere es rockear,
rockear y rollear durante toda la noche.
A mi nena no le gustan las topas lujosas,
cenas de clase alta o ir al cine.
Cuando viene a hacer el amor, ella sabe de qué se trata.
Y cuando ella huckle-buckea, me deja knock out".
"Huckle-buck", verbo en el lunfardo afronorteamericano blusero: fifar la mujer con un hombre, acostada de espalda, con las piernas levantadas, flexionadas desde las caderas y pasando por encima de los hombros del varón.
Pueden encontrar mucha info en un excelente blog, de donde está tomada la imagen (me parece que es la tapa de un vinilo) y de donde se pueden bajar una cantidad de discos de la epoca, supongo que en gran parte descatalogados:
be bop wino done gone
Hold back the door
Stop all the clocks
I just got the news that my baby wants to rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
Rock and Roll all night long
Well, my baby don't like no fancy clothes
High class dinners or picture shows
When it comes to lovin', she knows what it's about
But when she huckle-bucks she knocks me out
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
Rock and Roll all night long
My baby don't like airplanes
She don't like those streamline trains
She just wants to stay at home
And huckle buck her daddy all night long
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
She wants to rock with the clock
But she don't know when to stop
Well, my baby gets her kicks every day
She rocks her fine little self away
She rocks in the basement, she rocks upstairs
I can't take it no more
I'm gonna have to get me a rockin chair
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
All she wants to do is rock
She wants to rock with the clock
but she don't know when to stop.
¡This is blues!
