Can't remember when I first found out about this song, but I know I found some good obscure Rockabilly tunes around the website dedicated to Gretsch Guitars.

Also this cool photo of Eddie Cochran:
A classic cover of Everett's song done in spanish by Rockabilly band from Spain, Raw Meat (Los Raw Meat?):
Another notable cover by Charlie Hightone and the Rock-it's with really good Hillbilly "hiccups":
The band, The Legendary Raw Deal, do a nice version with a little sax thrown in, but not as much as the original:
Les Godzillas have a 60's organ vibe to their version:
Another female vocal and jazzy sax solo in this one by Cari Lee & the Contenders:
A band with a very long name, Beware The Dangers Of A Ghost Scorpion!, have a really excellent instrumental version out there:
The original by Bracey Everett is included in my 55 track, 2hr. playlist at 8tracks, enjoy!:
