Bo Diddley wasn’t the first artist to use the beat in his self-titled song, but it became known as the “Bo Diddley” beat anyway.
A lot of songs use that beat, including a few before Bo Diddley. But did any do it better?
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s our nightly Open Thread, and you have the floor.
Everybody likes Bo Diddley…even Laurel and Hardy………….
“Willie and the Hand Jive” immediately comes to mind as using the same beat.
Also, Elvin Bishop’ s “Calling All the Cows”.

Barney never learned trigger discipline which is why he kept accidentally shooting his pistol. Andy is in no hurry to teach him that skill either.
The more I look, the more I see Mayberry gun enthusiasts with their finger in the trigger guard when they’re not ready to shoot.
Someone’s going to shoot their pretend eye out.
Honestly! Whoever is in charge of gun safety on 1960s sitcoms is NOT doing their job.
