 . . . Toot Toot," by "Rockin' Sidney" Simien (also author of 
"You Ain't Nothing But Fine," which the T-Birds covered).  
The year the song hit and was covered by a bazillion other 
artists, Sidney showed up at the New Orleans jazzfest in a 
Cadillac with a plate on the front that read, "My Toot Toot." 
To see what he's up to lately, I just did a search and found 
out he died February 25, the day after Mardi Gras.
