I love all them, but "Rip it up" is my favourite. What other song talks about Delta 88s?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

1. "True Fine Mama" is my personal favorite

It's just so simple and DETERMINED.

"Honey honey, honey honey honey, honey honey honey..."

Regarding other songs about 88s, Roy Wood & Wizard did a 50s retro album called "Introducing Eddy & the Falcons" with a song called "Brand New 88,"



and the all-time classic 50s song on the subject would be Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88."

You may have heard of jalopies,
You heard the noise they make,
Let me introduce you to my Rocket '88.
Yes it's great, just won't wait,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

V-8 motor and this modern design,
My convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy.
Blow your horn, Rocket, blow your horn

Step in my Rocket and-don't be late,
We're pullin' out about a half-past-eight.
Goin' on the corner and havin' some fun,
Takin' my Rocket on a long, hot run.
Ooh, goin' out,
Oozin' and cruisin' and havin' fun

Now that you've ridden in my Rocket '88,
I'll be around every night about eight.
You know it's great, don't be late,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.
