The Everly Brothers vs. Tesla

Okay, we are going to try something different here.  For this [Single Shots] series has been featuring different versions of the same song, parodies and just plain single shots of songs that carry some significance to me in one way or another.  Whereas, these two songs about little Susie/Suzi couldn’t be more different.  For The Everly Brothers is about something that happened during a much more innocent time, which would hardly to get more of a reaction than maybe a raised eyebrow from the respective parents these days.  Whereas, Tesla’s song means to hit you right between the eyes in a number of ways.  Besides, with two different spellings of the same name, these songs may be about two different girls.  Although, Tesla’s might be the daughter of The Everly Brothers’ one.  Yeah, I’ll be shutting up now.

Wake Up Little Susie

The Everly Brothers

Wake up

Little Susie

Wake up
Wake up

Little Susie

Wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie’s over

It’s four o’clock
And we’re in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Well

What’re we gonna tell your mama
What’re we gonna tell your pa
What’re we gonna tell our friends
When they say

Ooh-la-la
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Well I told your mama

That you’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby

Looks like we goofed again

Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
We gotta go home

Wake up

Little Susie

Wake up
Wake up

Little Susie

Wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot
It didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep

Our goose is cooked
Our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Well

What’re we gonna tell your mama
What’re we gonna tell your pa
What’re we gonna tell our friends
When they say

Ooh-la-la
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Little Suzi

Tesla

Ow

Little Suzi's on the up

Lookin’ for a getaway
Ruby tries to bring her down

She's lookin' for another way
Little Suzi's on the up

Headin' for the spotlights
Ruby finally gets up

Lookin' for some quiet night

And the music

Makes her feel

So hot
Oh and she'll smile

For the camera

With all she's got
Don't bring her down

She's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far

If her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up

Little Suzi's on the up

Now suddenly

It's not a game
Ruby's got to give up

‘Cause Suzi's plainly set on pain
Little Suzi's on the up

Cost in cost

Your point is made

Ruby's gonna hang around

To make sure Suzi's okay

And the music

Makes her feel

So hot

Oh and she'll smile

For the camera

With all she's got

Don't bring her down

She's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far

If her dreams come true
Don't you bring her down

She's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far

If her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up

And the music

Makes her feel

So hot

Oh and she'll smile

For the camera

With all she's got

Don't you bring her down

She's a lot like you

She'll be richer by far

If her dreams come true

Whoa

Don't you bring her down

She's a lot like you

She'll be richer by far

When her dreams come true

Little Suzi's on the up

Oh yes she is

Ow

Now she's on the up

Little Suzi's on the up
Headin’ for the spotlight

Oh little Suzi

Oh and the music

Makes her feel so hot

Go little Suzi

Yeah

Ohhh

Yeah yeah

Oh yeah
