Talk:Good Golly, Miss Molly

What the heck does "Sure like to ball" mean? Modern meaning is dirty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.229.4.2 (talk) 18:58, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"to ball" has the same indifferent meaning as "to rock": in one hand "have a party, good times; dancing" on the other "sex". --Krächz (talk) 10:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the 1950s "ball" could mean "have a good time." It comes from the earlier use of the word to describe a big social event with dancing. 66.162.249.170 (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Pennick[edit]

"Little Richard first heard the phrase "Good golly, Miss Molly" from a Southern DJ named Jimmy Pennick."

Where is this information from? There is no further evidence of a DJ with that name but only in this context. Any idea? --Krächz (talk) 12:30, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IT seems to come from Little Richard here [[1]] Carptrash (talk) 22:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

King Ralph[edit]

I have just discovered this music video clearly related to the movie King Ralph. Was there a new version recorded for the occasion at the time of the movie release? Is this version with Goodman considered one official video of the song?--Alexmar983 (talk) 17:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
