Tune of the Week: Rubber Biscuit

The Chips were a bit of a one hit wonder from the doo-wop era. “Rubber Biscuit”, an ode to the culinary woes of the impoverished, was released by the Josie label in 1956. It caught the attention of enough curious white fellas out east, as there was a revival of sorts for the tune in the late 70s. It was featured in one of the most memorable scenes from Martin Scorsese’s “Mean Streets” and Dan Akroyd and John Belushi covered it in their The Blues Brothers act. Heymonmonmondigawaggadigawagga indeed!
