WACKIN' ON MY PEEN! (Obscure 1920s blues music)

Today, we have a newly rediscovered 1926 AI classic by the late, great Ding-a-ling Hopkins, the Mississippi blues trailblazer who gave you such classic gems as "Yankin' My Crank" and "Beatin' On My Thang!". This gem covers similar subject matter to his other rediscovered hits. It is a tale as old as time, a story of one man's obsession, his passion, and his greatest love in life, his happiness with self satisfaction. Ding-a-ling was a simple man by all accounts, happy to be alone and to himself. He had no desire for fancy material things, nor did he crave affection from others. He was simply a man happy with himself, but also a man who recognized the grave and dangerous price that came with going too far in that "self reliant" direction. His music has been used in classrooms across America for decades now, used as cautionary tales. Ding-a-ling passed in 1931, found dead on the floor of his home where he had suddenly dropped from exhaustion following a strenuous physical task of some kind, the details never made public. Ding-a-ling's spirit and his musical legacy lives on to this day. RIP.

Lyrics:

When I was a young boy, my momma she said "Son, you keep up what you's doin' and one day you's gonna come undone"

I says "Momma, don't you worry, cause it's just what I loves to do, wack on my salami 'til that thang it be black and blue!"

Mmm when I's just a young man, my papa he said "Boy, that sh*t it just ain't right and you know that thing it ain't no toy"

But me I says "Papa, don't worry cause it ain't no big thing, you knows I just can't help but to gets a-yankin' on my crank"

Ooh, wackin' on my peen, it's the life I wants to live

Wackin' on my peen, I gives it all I gots to give

Yeah, I said wackin' on my peen, it's alls I wanna do

Ooh, one day I'ma wack one too many times, blow out them balls and run outta splooge

My lady she says "Baby, can't you give up on that sh*t?" But me I says "Lady, you's free to pack your things and split"

Yeah, I don't need me no p*ssy, don't needs me no woman, cause long as I can jerk my crank I'ma be in heaven just a-happy' and a-comin'

Ooh, day and night it's my favorite thing, beat on my salami 'til I's out on that floor in pain

Once a day it ain't enough, and twice it just don't cut it, every chance I get I'ma be a-yankin' and a-bustin'

Lord, can a man he be saved when he beats his ding-a-ling night and day?

Ooh, it's alls I wanna do, yank on my salami til I drop dead and hit that grave

Lord, I be wackin' 'til it burns, and still I just can't wait to gears up for one more turn
