This article is about rock and roll song by Fats Domino. For the blues song that was a pop hit for Brook Benton, see Boll Weevil (song). For other uses, see Boll weevil (disambiguation).
In 1991, two new versions of the song performed by Fats Domino were released: the so-called "complete" (length 2:45), on the soundtrack of the film A Rage in Harlem,[3] and the "alternative" (1:50), on the 4-CD box set "They Call Me The Fat Man...".[4] The "complete" version was also included in the 1993 Fats Domino box set Out of New Orleans.[5] However, these alternate versions are simply composite edits of the original recording, the shortest of the three (1:50), which was considered as alternative by Fats Domino fans. The first minute of this original recording (after a two-second intro) was repeated twice to produce a composite master for the single and album (2:02). The long so-called "complete" version is a triple repetition of the same first minute with a fade-out at the end.
