Auntie would play this song real loud to my uncle. They were so loving and hip. She always would dance with her bull legged ways. Like she had been on a horse for 5 months straight.
There was an old greasy spoon restaurant in Auburn California where I used to live that was a combination bar at the entrance, game room in the back, and restaurant. There was a sign in the window that said "Liquor in the front, poker in the rear, and good eats on the side.
Melvis was an ex GI who had a big voice. At the time Taverns were suffering from poor businness. He did many local bar gigs to show patrons it was ok to have Liquor up front. But in the meantime if you wanted a poker game you could easily get that outback. He enjoyed his fancy likker too.
@@itzhakbentov6572my uncle played backup guitar for Melvis. He said that was the best gig he ever had. It’s too bad that Melvis died as young as he did.
Yes sir you are correct. I had the pleasure of seeing these fellows performing in 1956 at The Poodleskirt Promenade in Syracuse NY. When those fellows belted out LIQUOR IN THE FRONT AND POKER IN THE REAR..well it was off of the charts
When I was a kid this slogan "Liquor in the Front & Poker in the Rear" was on the wall of the local pharmacy. However, they spelled it differently. Theirs said, "Lick Her In the Front, and Poke Her In the Rear," but I never understood it. Because, with my wife, I do the exact opposite.
spoiler - these are original songs written by me, not altered songs - the fact that you think they are old songs that were altered is a huge cpmpliment because that is 100% the joke - to make new songs that sound authentic
