    Yikes, Jenny got pounded! But then again, why is the guy running away? Looks more like Jenny smeared her lipstick in the wrong place and he’s doing The Twist.

    I thought this cover was so strange. She looks almost as if she is going to burst into a fit of laughter.

    Haha! Yeah; She’s cracking up! My guess is that the title is sarcastic and Jenny, tired of being hit on by truckers while waitressing, drew that on herself to look tough. She’s laughing because apparently,it worked on a hapless traveling businessman who is either running away or wanting a spanking….I’m not even sure if he knows which!

    Spanking! Good observation on that one! You know Allee really did have some influence on my examining my kitsch a little more! It’s amazing the things we all pick out of pictures, kitsch, records etc…..It’s like he is saying, “Come on Jenny please, just spank me for a little bit, then I’ll get you that new lipstick you’ve been wanting that you always see at the 5 & dime!”

    The group was called “The Two Joes” and this record was released in 1959 on Bell Records.
