Rockin’ pneumonia

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1957, Huey “Piano” Smith and The Clowns released the song Rockin’ Pneumonia and The Boogie Woogie Flu. The song was a reference to the 1957 and 1958 pandemic of the Asian flu. Although, the lyrics are really about approaching a woman at a nightclub and really do not provide any suggestion to the pandemic. I remember the remake version by Johnny Rivers in 1972.  The song hit number six on the United States Billboard Hot 100 in the winter of 1973.
