Quick Hit
“Rubber Biscuit” by the Chips (1956)
“Rubber Biscuit” by the Blues Brothers (1978)
The Chips were a doo-wop group in the fifties led by Charles Johnson. “Rubber Biscuits” was the first and most famous song they recorded. It was supposedly contrived while Johnson was at the Warwick School for Delinquent Teenagers, it was more of a minor East Coast break-out radio hit than a national hit. Mostly done in kind of a ‘scat’ style about the only things you can understand in the song sound like Johnson making fun of the food at the ‘School’.
