Origin of Jenkins Stage Name--------- Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins would always remain his legal name, however). Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".[citation needed]
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins. The flip side of the 45 RPM record was "The Purple, Purple People Eater, Eater." (The more well known version of Purple People Eater, however, now having sold over 100,000,000 copies, was recorded by Sheb Wooley.)
Hey Good Lookin'
Conway Twitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hows about cookin' something up with me
(Conway)
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
You could find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hotrod Ford and a two dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Say hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
I'm free and I'm ready, so we can go steady
Hows about sharing all of your company
No more lookin', I know I said lookin'
Hows about keepin' steady company.
I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
And buy me one for five or ten cents
Keep it 'til it's covered with age
Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page.
Say, hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Say, hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Hows about cookin' something up with me?...
Conway Twitty's "Hey, Good Lookin'" is a classic country song that tells the story of a young man who is interested in a girl and is trying to get her attention. The lyrics of the song are upbeat and playful, making it a fun tune for fans of country music. The chorus of the song is catchy and easy to sing along to, making it one of Twitty's most popular songs.
In the first verse, Twitty asks the girl what she's cooking and suggests that together they could come up with a new recipe. He then goes on to brag about his hotrod Ford and promises a good time at a local spot with free drinks and music.
In the second verse, Twitty tells the girl that he's ready for a relationship and asks her to share her company with him. He then tears up his date book and replaces it with a new one that has her name written on every page.
