Chuck Berry was a great entertainer. He played guitar like ringing a bell! Check out some of his other songs.

[@Rebel9668]

The version I always heard started the first verse as "When I was a little bitty boy, my Grandmother bought me a cute little toy, silver bells hanging on a string, she told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling". I guess that's how the song got airplay on the radio when I was a kid, lol! Later in the song I'm sure it was in England too because Chuck shouts out "You know that's future Parliament out there singin'! Oh Yeah!!" In that version there was a lot more participation by the men and women too. Here it is if you'd like to hear it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZqmhIZ_erqooc0

[@ianstradian]

@@Rebel9668 I know right? They skipped that verse.

[@mgordon1100]

I think Jamel purposely cut the first verse out.

[@robertcherman]

Yeah, you got that shirt back or at least put one up. I never bought one of the shirts from that company. I am guessing the one shirt is a normal t-shirt, and the ECO one I am not sure, is that the real soft shirts.

He's one of those several original guys responsible for the DNA of rock n roll it wouldn't have the content that it does 🤘

[@tedgay8427]

Of all the Rock-N-Roll classics this gentleman wrote in the 50s, along with laying down the law on RnR rhythm guitar, this novelty song was his biggest hit.

[@elipolonsky4235]

And though his pioneering '50s classics were originals, this was a COVER by Chuck Berry! He added a lot to it, but here's the original "My Ding-A-Ling" from 1952 by Dave Bartholomew from New Orleans (better known as Fats Domino's longtime bandleader): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZjcd2WDq5hpZrM There was also this version from 1954 by a group called The Bees under the name "Toy Bell": kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWasoKWGpp2eaLM

Jamel, when I was 7 my parents would have the aunts, uncles, and cousins over for poker night on the weekends. They played this song one weekend and all of us kids learned it word for word. Monday our mothers had to come to school because 7 of us got together at recess and sang "My Ding a Ling" at the top of our lungs. Our teachers were not impressed, our mothers thought it was funny. 🤣😂

Somebody brought this as a 45 record to a slumber party in 6th grade. We played it over and over until we learned it, and then sang it louder and louder until the parents came in. They were so bothered they confiscated the record and had words with the parents of the girl that brought it when they picked her up the next morning.

If you listen to the studio version, it starts with an extra verse. It explains that, "momma bought me a brand new toy, it was two bells hangin' on a string. She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling."

[@Ratt1959]

Yeah, on the original album "The London Berry Sessions" the song is around 12 min. long. It's great.

[@knew3355]

Yeah, I was thinking it started out as a “brand new toy”.

Fun fact: In all of Chuck Berry's legendary career, this "novelty" song was the only one of his songs that hit #1 on the charts (in 1972).

[@nathanstevens259]

Chuck was apparently a very hilarious man, great musician too!

[@CornbreadOracle]

There is a very fun clip of Chuck Berry performing with John Lennon. (Maybe the Dick Cavett show?) John idolized Chuck and his joy at singing “Johnny B Goode” with his hero is palpable. And then Yoko Ono start screaming and banging the tambourine. John tried to ignore her but the look on Chuck Berry’s face is PRICELESS.

I agree. The song needs the first verse to keep kids out of trouble when singing the song.

Chuck Berry was the reason Rock and Roll became Rock and Roll! The British Invasion, particularly the Beatles and the Stones, were all trying to be Chuck Berry. He was (and still is) the man! He had a way to twist the lyrics just enough to make it NAUGHTY

This was the B-side to Johnnie B. Goode. Wore that poor chunk of vinyl out as a kid.

[@keithdittmar1701]

When I was a little boy, maybe 5 or 6 years old, I found mom's 45's from the mid to late 50's. She had that record of Johnnie B. Goode, but I memorized the flip side, and got in trouble for singing about my Ding-a-Ling. Years later it became one of my road trip songs to sing to my kids. Over the years it's embarrassed my mother, my wife, and my daughters in law.

[@scottdobson1276]

Maybe the single most important person in Rock history, and this is his only #1 song.

Without Chuck Berry, there is no rock n roll. One of the founding fathers. Maybellene or Roll over Beethoven are both good ones from Mr. Berry.
