Chantilly Lace (Big Bopper, 1958). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-02-28. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Chantilly Lace," written by J. P. Richardson (The Bib Bopper), was Richardson's debut single and his highest charting song rising to no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and remained on the chart for 25 weeks; however, Richardson died, along with Richie Valens and Buddy Holly, less than a year after the release of this song (Feb. 3, 1959) (Whitburn, 2013). One interesting note is that Richardson produced three music videos during 1958, "Chantilly Lace," "Big Bopper's Wedding" and "Little Red Riding Hood," all written by Richardson (songfacts, 2023). Richardson referred to these videos as "rock videos." . . . According to Bill Griggs, editor of the "Rockin' 50s" music magazine, the Big Bopper was convinced that video was the wave of the future and, at the time of his death, he was preparing to start production on music videos for TV and a specially designed jukebox that would play videos (songfacts, 2023). Way ahead of his time, pre Beatles and MTV.

Lyrics:
Hello, baby
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin'
Ha ha ha ha ha, oh you sweet thing
Do I what?
Will I what?
Oh baby, you know what I like
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a-hangin' down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go 'round
There ain't nothin' in the world
Like a big-eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose, like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's what I like
What's that baby, but, but?
Oh honey
But?
Oh baby, you know what I like
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a-hangin' down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go 'round
There ain't nothin' in the world
Like a big-eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose, like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's what I like
What's that, honey?
Pick you up at eight and don't be late?
But, baby, I ain't got no money, honey
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh, all right, baby, you know what I like
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail a-hangin' down
That wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go 'round
There ain't nothin' in the world
Like a big-eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose, like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's what I like
