Classic Beat Language The 1950s Beat Counterculture
Three of the great voices of the 1950s put their words to ink, offering glimpses of the creative use of the Beat brand of jive. In Hiparama of the Classics, Lord Buckley reworked Marc Antony's eulogy for Caesar as follows:
...The Roman Senate is jumpin' salty all over the place so Mark the Spark showed on the scene, faced all the studs, wild and other wise, and shook up the whole Scene as he BLEW:
Hipsters, Flipsters, and Finger-Poppin' Daddies
Knock me your lobes!
I came here to lay Caesar out,
Not to hip you to him.
The bad jazz that a cat blows,
Wails long after he's cut out.
The groovy, is often stashed with their frames,
So don't put Caesar down.
