"Speedoo" is a song written by Esther Navarro and performed by The Cadillacs featuring the Jesse Powell Orchestra. It reached #3 on the U. S. R&B chart and #17 on the U. S. pop chart in 1955. The song was featured on their 1957 album, The Fabulous Cadillacs. Lyrically, the song tells of Mister Earl who acquired the nickname "Speedo" because, when it comes to his pursuit of pretty girls, "he don't believe in wastin' time" and "he don't never take it slow". The song was included in Robert Christgau's "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings, published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981). more »
