"'''Tutti Frutti'''" (originally shown as "'''Tutti-Frutti'''") is a 1955 song by [[Little Richard]], which became his first hit record. With its opening cry of "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bop-bop!"<ref>Various transliterations of this have been made. [[Nik Cohn]]'s book on the history of pop music used the title ''"Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom"''.</ref> (supposedly intended to be an onomatopoetic parody of a drum intro) and its hard-driving sound and wild lyrics, it became not only a model for many future Little Richard songs, but also one of the models for [[Rock and Roll]] itself.
==Original recording by Little Richard==
Although Little Richard Penniman had recorded for [[Peacock Records]] since 1951, his records had been relatively undistinguished and had sold poorly. In February 1955, he sent a [[demo (music)|demo]] tape to [[Specialty Records]], which was heard by producer [[Bumps Blackwell|Robert 'Bumps' Blackwell]]. Blackwell heard promise in the tapes and arranged a recording session for Little Richard at [[Cosimo Matassa]]'s studio in New Orleans in September 1955, with [[Fats Domino]]'s backing band. The band included [[Lee Allen (musician)|Lee Allen]] and [[Alvin Tyler|Alvin "Red" Tyler]] on saxophones, [[Frank Fields]] on guitar, and [[Earl Palmer]] on drums.<ref name=DawsonPropes>Jim Dawson and Steve Propes, ''What Was The First Rock'n'Roll Record'', 1992, ISBN 0-571-12939-0</ref><ref name=grove>Penniman, Richard Wayne. "Little Richard." Little Richard 24 Jan 2008. GroveMusic.com (subscription only)</ref>
However, as the session wore on, Little Richard's anarchic performance style was not being fully captured on tape. In frustration during a lunch break, he started pounding a piano and singing a ribald song which he had been performing live for some time.<ref name="whitep55">White, Charles (2003), pp. 55. ''The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography.''

Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s. USA: The Smithsonian Institution, 1990.</ref>
Although the song was essentially his own, it bears some similarities to an earlier song, also titled "Tutti Booty", recorded by [[Slim and Slam]] in 1938.<ref name=DawsonPropes /> Little Richard sang :
"A-wop bop-a loo-bop, a-wop bam-boom!
Tutti Frutti, aw-rooty"
After this lively performance, Blackwell knew the song was going to be a hit, but recognized that the song, with its “minstrel modes and homosexuality humor”, needed to be cleaned up.<ref name=Lhamon/>
Blackwell contacted local songwriter [[Dorothy LaBostrie]] to revise the lyrics, with Little Richard still playing in his characteristic style. According to Blackwell, Dorothy La Bostrie “didn’t understand melody”, but was definitely a “prolific writer".<ref>Brackett, David. , the Pop, Rock, and Soul Reader: Histories and Debates. New York: Oxford, 2004</ref> The original lyrics, “Tutti Frutti, good booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy",<ref name=cWhite>White, Charles.

(''All rooty'' was [[Hipster (1940s subculture)|hipster]] slang for "all right".) In addition to Penniman and LaBostrie, a third name—Lubin—is credited as co-writer. Some sources considered this to be a pseudonym used by Specialty label owner [[Art Rupe]] to claim royalties on some of his label's songs,<ref name=DawsonPropes /> but others refer to songwriter [[Joe Lubin]].<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fifoxqujld6e allmusic ((( Joe Lubin > Overview )))<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
Blackwell stated that time constraints didn't permit a new arrangement, so Little Richard recorded the revised song in three takes, taking about fifteen minutes, with the original piano part. The song was recorded on September 14, 1955.<ref name=DawsonPropes /> Released on Specialty 561, the record entered the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|Rhythm and Blues chart]] at the end of November 1955, and rose to # 2 early in 1956. It also reached # 17 on the Billboard pop chart. In the UK, it only scraped into the top 30 in 1957, as the B-side of "[[Long Tall Sally]]". The song, with its [[12-bar blues|12 bar blues chord progression]],<ref>[http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME06/Music_matters_Appendix.shtml A sample of 100 rock and roll songs<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> provided the foundation of Little Richard's career. It was seen as a very aggressive song that contained more features of African American vernacular music than any other past recordings in this style.<ref name=grove/>
The song, as sung by Little Richard, is #43 in ''[[Rolling Stone]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s list of [[The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11028260/the_rs_500_greatest_songs_of_all_time/1|title=The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time|publisher=RollingStone.com|accessdate=2007-06-02}}</ref> It is #1 in ''[[mojo magazine|Mojo Music Magazine]]'''s list of [http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/mojo.html#100%20Records%20That%20Changed%20the%20World 100 records that changed the world].
"Tutti Frutti" provided the title for one of the earliest books about the development of rock and roll and pop music from the 1950s, [[Nik Cohn]]'s ''"Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom"'' (1969).
==Racial connotations==
Recording cover versions of songs was standard industry practice during the 1940s and 1950s. A hit song could generate many different versions: pop and instrumental, polka, blues, hillbilly, and others by a variety of artists.<ref>The Blue Moon Boys - The Story of Elvis Presley's Band. Ken Burke and Dan Griffin. 2006. Chicago Review Press. page 87.

"Television Review: Rock's Story as Told by Rockers." The New York Times 08 Mar. 1995, Late ed., sec.

{{quote|They didn’t want me to be in the white guys’ way… I felt I was pushed into a rhythm and blues corner to keep out of rockers’ way, because that’s where the money is. When ‘Tutti Frutti’ came out… They needed a rock star to block me out of white homes because I was a hero to white kids.

Richard's contract with Peacock had been purchased by [[Specialty Records]] owner [[Art Rupe]], who also owned the publishing company that bought Richard's songs.

==Other versions==
The song has been [[cover version|covered]] by many musicians. After [[Pat Boone]]'s success with "[[Ain't That a Shame]]", his next single was "Tutti Frutti", markedly toned down from the already reworked Blackwell version. Boone's version outdid Little Richard's on the US pop charts, reaching #12.
[[Elvis Presley]] recorded the song and it was included in his first [[Sony BMG|RCA]] album ''[[Elvis Presley (album)|Elvis Presley]]'' March 23, 1956.
[[Queen (band)|Queen]] played it every gig during their live [[Magic Tour (Queen)|Magic Tour]] shows in 1986. It is also featured during the [[T.Rex (band)|T.Rex]] jam session with [[Elton John]] during the 1972 rock film ''[[Born to Boogie]]''. It is the first song on the [[MC5]] album, ''[[Back in the USA (album)|Back in the USA]]''. The song was covered by [[Fair Weather]] in 1970.
[[Sting (musician)|Sting]] recorded the tune for the original soundtrack of the 1982 film ''Party Party''.
[[The Disney Channel]] ran a [[D-TV|DTV]] music video of the song, set mostly to clips from the 1940 [[Donald Duck]] cartoon ''[[Mr. Duck Steps Out]]'' ([[Daisy Duck]] represents the character of the same name in the lyrics), but also the 1942 cartoon ''[[Mickey's Birthday Party]]'' (with [[Clara Cluck]] representing Sue in the lyrics).
This song is also featured in the 1987 movie ''[[The Brave Little Toaster (film)|The Brave Little Toaster]]''.
The song is featured on the ''[[California Raisins]]'' soundtrack from their first special, ''Meet the Raisins''.
The song is sung by Val Kilmer in ''[[Top Secret!]]''
The song is featured in ''[[DJ Hero]]'' mixed with "Beats" by Shlomo.
[[WWE]]'s [[Mean Gene Okerlund]] covered it, and uses it as his entrance tune. It appears on 1985's ''[[The Wrestling Album]]''.
The song is performed in [[Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever]].
[[Alvin and the Chipmunks]] did their rendition of the song in their 1990 T.V. documentary special [[Rockin' Through the Decades]] starring [[Will Smith]], and their full version can be heard in their album of the same name.
In the 1991 film [[Flirting_(film)|Flirting]], [[Thandie Newton]] recites the song lyrics in full at a school debate on the relative importance of the intellectual and physical spheres of human experience.
