Little Richard : [talking about Pat Boone's version of "Tutti Fruitti"] He did a good version and you know after all for him to sing wop-bop-a-loom-a-blop-bam-boom that wasn't too easy. You know to fold your lips and pull them out and push them back and then throw it up again. That was kind of hard.
