Chuck Berry - Thirty Days
In his second single for Chess records, Chuck Berry treats us with his pioneering rock'n'roll songwriting skills. Not only does Thirty Days have that freight train beat, the lyrics, in which the threats escalate from casting a hoodoo to lodging a complaint with the United Nations, are simple and brilliant. Wherever, whoever has left Berry has gone, they've got exactly 30 days to come back home.
