Old fruity

This may be close on fifty years old, but it was still news to me. Did you know that the original lyrics to Tutti Frutti went:

Tutti Frutti, good booty
If it don’t fit, don’t force it
You can grease it, make it easy.
Little Richard was an old fruit playing to the New Orleans gay scene and had to rely on a producer to rewrite one of the seminal songs in Rock and Roll...
