- Corny Collins: All right. Hold on to your hats, all you continental rockers 'cause it's *dance* contest time and we've got the wildest judge in town. You listen to her every night on WEDD and she hosts Negro Day on The Corny Collins Show, the last Thursday of every month. A warm welcome for the Queen of Baltimore soul: Miss Motormouth Maybelle herself, ladies and gentlemen! Let's hear it, Baltimore - Motormouth Maybelle! All right, here she comes, looking very fine.
- [Applause]
- Motormouth Maybelle: Ooh whee! Tiddley papa! l am a whopper!
- [Applause]
- Motormouth Maybelle: Motormouth Maybelle is my name and, sweetheart, dancin' is my game.
- [Applause]
- Motormouth Maybelle: Motormouth, Motormouth, Motormouth!
- Corny Collins: What's your favorite record from the survey?
- I.Q. Jones, Lou Ann Levorowski: Gravy!
- Corny Collins: All right. Here's l.Q. Jones and Lou Ann Levorowski leading our next dance, give me "Gravy" on my mashed potatoes.
- Corny Collins: Now, Motormouth, l think it's time we slowed things down a little with Mr. Gene Pitney.
- Motormouth Maybelle: You can't hide your face in this godforsaken place. Here in your own city, there's a town without pity.
- Corny Collins: Gene Pitney, ladies and gentlemen...
