Rubber Biscuit

Song by The Chips.

Recorded August 3, 1956.

 

Rubber Biscuit is a crazy song I love that gets stuck in my head for days when I rewatch the movie Mean Streets (1973), directed by Martin Scorsese. 

It’s on the soundtrack in the bar scene, with the camera focused and fixed on actor Harvey Keitel.

Now ... if only I could sing it ...
