Eddie Cochran's classic rockabilly song about male impotence ('the elevator's broken down' - we've all been there man). This was apparently the first song future Beatles John Lennon & Paul McCartney ever played together with the Quarrymen. 'You'll find my corpse draped over a rail' yeh, right. This one's for my friend from the US, Rutlegirl.
