Black Denim Trousers Vaughn Monroe 1955
'Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle boots' Vaughn Monroe 1955 RCA 20-6260 78 rpm. Played on a vintage Glaser Steers (Speedminder) turntable, Heathkit / Daystrom branded. He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun That fool was the terror of Highway 101 Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you" He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou But he treated her just like he treated all the rest And everybody pitied her and everybody knew He loved that doggone motorcycle best He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun That fool was the terror of Highway 101 Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave She said "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve" But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost In the rumble of his engine and the smoke from his exhaust He took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!!

Comments on Black Denim Trousers Vaughn Monroe 1955
brings back old memories i too was susprisedwhen I heard that Vaughan Mionroe was the singer
I heard this Walgreens yesterday. I knew the voice, but I couldn’t place the name. I’m glad I found it on YouTube. Thanks for uploading.
N idea, jin the club! Great melody though, and at least ther ain’t no needle hiss, cnsidering the age f the track, 55 yrs ag it was done!
What n abslute delight of a sng, at least the lyrics are clear, and there ain’t no nedle hiss on thi sher track thank heaven! WHat was on the flip side? Any polite suggestions wuld be welcome, and WITHOUT SWEARING
Great record,most of Vaughn Monroe’s were.This was 1955 radio,there were some good records then.Each generation likes its own records of that era.
@riversjse robert mitchem had a cut of this
I have all the Chad Mitchell album and this song is not on any of them.
I have a 45 of this song done by Vaughn Monroe, not The Cheers (actually have several of his 45s). I much prefer his recording because of that wonderfully deep voice.
what a cool song!
this tune rocks, i remember an old lp that had this on it, it was a compilation with a hot rod car on the cover ? any way its awesome !
So, this song belongs to The Cheers, right?
Hi, I love this tune. I have it on a 1955 “His Masters Voice” UK 45RPM Pink label. Its quite rare as 45′s were not common place over here till about 1959
Chad Mitchell Trio.
If I ever go through with my plan to cruise up the California coast, I’ll have to make sure to include this in my playlist.
I did hear a version of this by a group of guys, and it was played on Dr Demento.
I grew up with this record in the late ’60s- I found a 45 copy of this in front of an apartment complex, hiding amongst tall grass. The record was still in great shape. It was a long time before I realized “The Cheers” recorded it first (and had the hit recording); yet, Vaughn’s version is unique in itself. Keep in mind, though, that at the time, Monroe was easing himself out of his musical career and into a comfortable position as spokesman for RCA Victor TV’s, radios, appliances, etc.
Thank you. It was there when I needed it…my dad had a Harley and wore a black leather jacket…not eagle, but he did have the harley cap… I still have the 45 record on my turntable.
Than you!!!
it was the Cheers, I don’t think Carl Perkins ever recorded this song.
great song!!! great sound!! coming out of that record player WOW!!! they don’t make them like they use to that’s a shame that the only thing they make now is crapp that doesn’t last..
I seem to remember that the original version was recorded by Carl Perkins.
Hello
this is a great song I especially like this version. I was wondering do you have vaughn monroe doiing sound off . I would love to hear that again it has been a long time . this is a great turntable and my grandfather was one of the guys who worked to desgn it and they are like tanks keep bringing us these great oldies but goodies thanks
There was another group (Cheers) who recorded the song on Capitol. To see the YouTube enter Capitol no.CP-446 in the search box. The record would have been considered a ‘novelty song’ at the time.
Who did the original version of this? I am surprised to hear Vaughn Monroe performing it–he was more of a mainstream entertainer at the time, and I always thought of this as a rock ‘n’ roll song. I first heard it as a kid on a 78 from “Tops,” a label that specialized in sound-alike covers of current hits.
i read online that ge bought out glaser steers in the 60′s.
Yes, the speedminder function works. I don’t have a base for it, you can see the 45rpm adapter in the background.
