Boney Moronie got played more than once on each occasion I went to the Twisted Wheel in 1963/64. Of course, Larry Williams was a great favourite of the DJ Roger but nobody minded the repeats - a fabulous record:
'I've gott'a girl named Boney Moronie
she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni'
"Short Fat Fanny", another great and very clever track (listen to the lyrics!) was also featured quite a bit at the Brazennose street Twisted Wheel and John Lennon liked it too, as it appears on The John Lennon Jukebox CD.
A Larry (Andre) Williams poster greeted you as you descended the stairs into the Brazennose Street 'Twisted Wheel.
Larry worked for a time as Lloyd Price's valet and did a remake of Lloyds -'Just Because'.
