Story behind the song
"Devil with the Blue Dress On" was originally released as Shorty Long's debut single on Motown in 1964, but the single failed to chart. Two years later, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels covered the song as a medley with a cover of Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly". Their version was notably more up-tempo than Long's more blues-influenced rendition.[1] Reaching #4 on the Hot 100, their version of the track was would end up becoming their most well-known and highest charting hit in the United States. Some radio edits omit the almost identical repeat of the first verse, except for the last 4lines, in order to avoid the repetition, as well as for time limits.
Lyrics
{Refrain} Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress Devil with the blue dress on Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum Look at Molly now, here she comes Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything {Refrain} Wearin' her perfume, Chanel No. 5 Got to be the finest girl alive She walks real cool, catches everybody's eye They got to be nervous, they can't say Hi Not too skinny, she's not too fat She's a real humdinger and I like 'em like that {Refrain} Good golly, Miss Molly You sure like to ball Good golly, Miss Molly You sure like to ball It's late in the evenin' Don't you hear your mama call From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights See Miss Molly rockin' at the House of Blue Lights Good golly, Miss Molly You sure like to ball While you're rocking and you're rolling Can't you hear your mama call
