"Hey Good Lookin'" - Hank Williams

[Fiji Hill]

This is a weird song, sung in German and peppered with 1950s slang words borrowed from English. I haven't been able to translate all of it yet, but it makes references to Madrid, Zermatt, Switzerland, and the actress Brigitte Bardot, and it's nothing like the Coasters' version.

Jakety Jak--Paul Kuhn (1958)
