CANDYMOUTH GOLD

I've heard my share of dirty songs, but this is one I'd never heard. The Clovers, who I knew from "Love Potion Number Nine", were a doo wop group with a few other hits under their belt. They were pretty successful, successful enough to convince Atlantic Records honcho Ahmet Ertegun to let them record their own song. Thus, "Rotten Cocksuckers Ball". The song went nowhere primarily because it was pressed nowhere. That is, until it was bootlegged roughly twenty years later. But as far as dirty songs recorded by major artists go it rivals Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker's "You Better Think Twice (Version X)". Both pretty much make the Stones' "Cocksucker Blues" sound like childs play.
