Not for nothing, All's cover of this is fantastic.

Excellent write up of a wonderful song. I remember reading a “deep dive” into the lyrics and how it came to be written as a response song to some other rockabilly song. But that piece was not as evocative as what you’ve written.

One quibble though, are you sure WIBM was the first “oldies” radio station? I have distinct memories of listening to WMOD in Washington, DC beginning around 1969 when I graduated HS.
