Rock That Thing

Sometime between that recording and the early 20s, according to Burns, the term "rock 'n' roll" started to leave the church and began to be used in blues and vaudeville music as a euphemism for sex. He cites as examples Trixie Smith's "My Man Rocks Me with One Steady Roll" in 1922, "Rock That Thing" by Lil' Johnson, and "Rock Me Mama" by Banjo Ikey Robinson. --Roujan (talk) 00:05, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can you give a complete reference to Burns? It seems pertinent to mention this, provided a source can be cited. It could be mentioned parentetically following the mention of the song title ("one of the earliest uses of rock as a sexual euphemism"). Jwicklatz (talk) 05:55, 12 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
