Little Queenie

From Wikipedia:

“Little Queenie” is a song written and recorded by Chuck Berry. Released in March 1959 as a double A-side single with “Almost Grown”, it was included on Berry Is on Top (1959), Berry’s first compilation album. He performed the song in the movies Go, Johnny Go! (1959) and Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll (1987). One year earlier, Berry had released “Run Rudolph Run”, a Christmas song with the same melody.

Background

The song was recorded on November 19, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois. Backing Berry on vocals and guitar were either Johnnie Johnson or Lafayette Leake on piano, Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on drums. In a song review for AllMusic, Matthew Greenwald calls it an “incredible rock & roll anthem” and “one of the greatest dance/sex ritualistic classics.” It is included on several of Berry’s compilation albums, including The Great Twenty-Eight and Chuck Berry’s Golden Decade.
