The Five Keys from Newport News, VA won their 2nd decisive Cat Fight last week against the DC-based Clovers. Well, The Keys are back this week trying to make it 3 weeks in a row atop the Friday Night Cat Fight!

This week, just like the good ol’ days on the radio, The Five Keys RETURN for a 2nd week.

This week’s Cat Fight is pure blues baby. Bo Diddley wrote the song and it appeared as the B-side on his debut single for Checker Records in March of 1955. Two months later, Muddy Waters cut his own version of the song and re-titled it, “Manish Boy”. Now, it’s your turn to decide who got it right? Click the player above to listen to the Cat Fight and then voice your choice below in the poll. Crazy!
Last week, The Crickets (without Buddy Holly) were beaten to a pulp by The Bobby Fuller Four. This week, the same match-up continues as The Crickets return again without Buddy Holly to battle Bobby Fuller. This is a very interesting Cat Fight as you’re going to hear Buddy Holly’s actual DEMO of the song “Love’s Made A Fool Of You” and then The Crickets recording of it from Feb of 1959. It’s up against Bobby Fuller Four’s 1966 top 30 hit version of the song. Will this week’s Cat Fight be deja vu of last week’s or will we have a NEW winner? It’s up to you, The Night Prowlers to decide.
This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight takes a song penned by The Crickets’ Sonny Curtis and turns it into a rock n’ roll anthem. Originally recorded by the post-Buddy Holly Crickets in April of 1959, it was covered twice by Bobby Fuller. I’m putting The Crickets’ original up against Bobby Fuller’s 2nd version, the one that hit #9 on the pop charts in 1966. Decide for yourselves, Night Prowlers, which one you dig the most and then vote below. Maybe The Clash will make an appearance on next week’s Cat Fight….
The Friday Night Cat Fight began in 2002 on Matt The Cat's "Night Prowl Show" on XM Radio as a one-off, fun feature. The idea was to put the Crew-Cuts cover of "Sh-Boom" up against The Chords original version. The response was so overwhelming, that the Friday Night Cat Fight became a weekly feature on "The Night Prowl Show". When the program ended its run on XM in October of 2008, Matt The Cat decided it should continue on the web. The voting never closes on the web, so tell everyone you know to drop by and voice their choice for the version of the song that they truly DIG THE MOST!
