Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs 1965 #nostalgia #music #musiconfire

"Wooly Bully" is a fun and quirky song by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs that was released in 1965. Written by lead singer Domingo Samudio, also known as Sam the Sham, the song features a Tex-Mex sound with its distinctive saxophone riff. It quickly became a massive hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the most popular song of 1965 in the United States.

The lyrics are playful and somewhat nonsensical, telling the story of Matty and Hatty and their encounter with a creature named Wooly Bully. Despite its goofy lyrics, the song's infectious beat and unique style made it a dance favorite. "Wooly Bully" also holds the distinction of being the first American song to use the term "rock and roll," helping to solidify the genre's place in popular music.

This song remains a classic example of the 1960s rock and roll sound and continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages.
