DJ Fred’s Rock N’ Roll Factoids For October 14th [VIDEOS]

Susie was a very naughty girl, she fell asleep on the couch while watching the movie, so now it's 4 a.m. and she's in trouble deep.  So to make a long story short, today when you log onto PornHub, you can thank Susie.

Although Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers was banned by a bunch of conservative radio stations because of "suggestive lyrics," it still went to #1 on the chart on this date in 1957.  No, it wasn't Playboy that started the sexual revolution, it was Wake Up Little Susie.

On this date in 1971 a music publishing firm slapped John Fogerty with a $500,000 lawsuit saying that the Creedence Clearwater Revival song Travelin' Band sounded far too much like Good Golly Miss Molly, the song by Little Richard. The suit was eventually dropped.  Too bad.  We would've loved to see Little Richard pointing a finger and screaming loudly at Fogerty in a court of law.  We really would've loved to see a knock down drag out fight in the back alley between the two.  Mitch Ryder could have been the referee.

Michael Jackson hit #1 in 1972 with Ben, a song about a rat, from a movie about a rat.  Rats were cool back then, and apparently they're very cool still, as the internet is now filled with popular rat videos. Back in the day a Saturday night was made by standing in the local town dump and firing off a few rounds at the rat population.  Now, we watch rats drag slices of pizza down a New York City sidewalk. Compelling. Jaw Dropping. Astounding.  Adjectives anyone?

And on this date in 1973, Goats Head Soup by the Rolling Stones started a four week run at #1. The album features Angie, which also went to #1.  The Stones are the I-95 Band Of The Day!

The Motley Crue album Dr. Feelgood hit #1 on this date in 1989. It features great hair band classic like Kickstart My Heart, Same Ol' Situation and Don't Go Away Mad! The Crue will be here in Bangor along with Alice Cooper this Sunday night!  Hopefully you're insured.

In 2004, Eric Clapton was told that he could no longer drive in France after the Porsche that he was driving was clocked at 134MPH.  Clapton was taken to the police station, paid a fine, took a few pictures with the cops, and then left in the Porsche with his secretary behind the wheel.  Rock stars can get away with s**t.
