Check out the beyond bizarre scene in the video of the 1957 low LOW budget rock'n'roll movie, "Rock Baby Rock It!" which was filmed in Dallas, Texas.
The music in this movie stinks plus lacking in originality. Also the acting is horrible beyond belief. However, what makes this movie notable is the scene starting at about the 42 minute mark. It features two rednecks. The Boss redneck by the swimming pool orders his underling redneck, appropiately named "Crackers," to dance rock'n'roll in his bathing suit while wearing a gun slung over his shoulder.
Yeah, it is funny but also VERY disturbing at the same time. It is interesting from a sociological POV because both actors are obviously redneck types in real life and talk that way.
Ever notice that actors seem to be able to pull off just about all accents except a Southern one? Whenever I hear an attempt at doing so, it’s almost always lousy.
And as for “y’all” being used to denote a single person, well.......
No, I’ve seen Squantos dance.
It ain’t pretty.
But Leslie Howard pulled off his Ashley Wilkes southern accent perfectly.
>>>The music in this movie stinks<<<
Johnny “Wild Wild Women” Carroll is awesome
This film is a priceless document of the Dallas music scene at the time
LOL!
My guess is that it's like a street mime with tourette's syndrome doing the funky chicken.
More Jed Clampett on corn squeezins an shrooms during a full moon....pointed at Eaker. !
Did Boss Girl’s swimsuit have a zipper?
Yep, they made quite a career out of a few basic riffs and bawdy double entendres, subtle out of necessity early on, overt by the time I saw them, once, in the mid-eighties. It was a blast, a lot of audience participation, great party band.
The way the boss dude was eyeing him was super gay.
