about

Everydody knows this one... Eddie Cochran sings about having a bit of trouble because his fancy piece lives on the twentieth floor, by the time he gets to the top he can't be arsed dancing because he's bloody knackered! Adam literally was too tired to rock after about 10 takes of this...
"..find my corpse draped over a rail!"
Here he is performing it n the film "The Girl Can't Help It"

lyrics

Twenty Flight Rock (Eddie Cochran)
ooh, well i got a girl with a record machine
when it comes to rockin' she's the queen
we love to dance on a saturday night
all alone where i can hold her tight
but she lives on the twentiest floor uptown
the elevator's broken down

so i walked one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth i started to drag
fifteenth floor i'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, i'm too tired to rock

when she calls me up on the telephone
say, come on over honey, i'm all alone
i said, baby you're mighty sweet
but i'm in bed with the achin' feet
this went on for a couple of days
but i couldn't stay away

well they sent to chicago for repairs
till it's a-fixed i'm a-usin' the stairs
hope they hurry up before it's too late
want my baby too much to wait
all this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
they'll find my corpse draped over a rail
but i climbed one, two flight, three flight four
