I wonder why daisy got two verses and sue only got one. I feel bad for her. Would it not have been better to go ahead and write in a third name. Maybe something like

Got a girl named sue
She knows just what to do.

Got a girl named daisy
She almost drives me crazy

Got a girl named Liz
And man that chicks the shiz

See that way the song has balance. A girl for every verse. Not one and then two. I just don’t understand how this was overlooked.


Also why was it “almost drives me crazy” and not “she always drives me crazy”.

Little Richard was a phenom

His influence was tremendous

His scream was legendary

The Beatles got booked with him in Hamburg early on

Little Richard invited them into his dressing room and they all became friends

He taught them a lot about show business

All of the Beatles were big fans, but Paul especially

Little Richard used to say 'I taught Paul everything he knows!'

And Paul admitted that he was right, he owed a lot to Little Richard and his style

One of LR's pre-show rituals - he would put his head under a towel over a bowl of hot steaming water

~ he would suddenly lift his head up to the mirror and say

~ "I can't help it cos I'm so beautiful"
