[Jukebox-list] Re: How to clean those records?/ Styrene

[S.R. Boland]

"Hell" used to be a big no-no on records.  It was
considered cursing.  Some DJs didn't want to play
Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lot Of Shakin' Going On" in
1957 because it sounded like Jerry Lee was singing,
"... a-well-a, well-a, hell-a, come on over baby,
whole lotta shakin' goin' on."

As I remember it, either the record company, Sun, or
Jerry Lee himself had to disavow that he'd sang the
word, "hell."
