You Hit Me Baby Like An Atomic Bomb: Fay Simmons [Recorded 1954]
A number of Bomb songs were released (and, in some cases—such as this one—not released) that took full advantage of the atomic sex motif. And no other female artist gave better voice to the suggestive power of the Bomb than Faye Simmons. The sultry and ridiculous lyrics "Want to hug and kiss you and give you a squeeze. You make me radioactive all in my knees" and the song's distinctive roller rink organ accompaniment is almost enough to justify the expense of the Manhattan Project.
Not much is known about Fay Simmons other than that she recorded on a number of Philadelphia-based labels including Grand with Philadelphia's own The Night Riders Orchestra on Whim, Wham Whop (1954). Other labels she recorded for include Rainbow, Piney, Ruthie, Gone, LT, V-Tone, Port, Jordon, Popside, Palm, Tuffy, Senca and Jubilee.
Recorded at the Reco-Art Studios in Philadelphia on August 23, 1954 at 8pm with an unknown band.
LYRICS/TRANSCRIPTION:
You Hit Me Baby Like An Atomic Bomb: Fay Simmons [Recorded 1954]
You hit me baby like an atomic bomb
I surrender honey 'cause you have won
Your lips touched mine and my heart went numb
I need your kind of lovin' won't you give me some
Want to hug and kiss you and give you a squeeze
You make me radioactive all in my knees
You must be the angel that lights the stars
Or maybe your love will come down from Mars
I don't know honey where you come from
But you sure hit me like an atomic bomb
I'll take you in my arms and fly off in space
The way I love you we'll start a super race
With your supersonics we will find a new world
You're my boy and I'm your girl
We'll live and love and have lots of fun
'Cause you hit me baby like an atomic bomb
I don't know honey where you come from
But you sure hit me like an atomic bomb
I'll take you in my arms and fly off in space
The way I love you we'll start a super race
With your supersonics we will find a new world
You're my boy and I'm your girl
We'll live and love and have lots of fun
'Cause you hit me baby like an atomic bomb
