"Great Balls of Fire!"

I loved Jerry Lee as a kid, even going so far as to play our green sofa as my pumping piano. Whilst listening and/or lip-synching to the record. I really dug him-rock n' roll, ya know. It was a shame he vanished from the landscape when he erred by marrying his 13 year old [ second cousin once removed ]. The following song is heavy [ slang 60's word ] even tho' the dialogue is in Spanish. The black dude he's talking to on stage is Chuck Berry. Seems Chuck has top billing, but Jerry has the current number one record in the U.S. So Jerry wants to close the show. But the contract is binding, so Chuck will close. After his performance he allegedly says to Chuck: "Follow that, Killer!"
