Vinyl is still popular. The first release, on my own Sand and Palms label, was a 7" 45 RPM vinyl record, the format of early rock 'n' roll. It was pressed in three different colors.
Story behind the song
The expression, “What’s Cookin’?”, has several meanings. It can mean "what's up", or it can refer to cooking food. I've attended many nice Bar-B-Ques and picnics in my home city of Winston-Saem (North Carolina).
What's cookin' with that special girl I left behind?
Lyrics
WHAT’S COOKIN’?
Words and Music by
Jimmie Vestal
I’m cooking on a grill, but I feel a little ill
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
I wonder what’s cookin’ with my love that’s been missin’,
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin?).
I haven’t seen that girl in a long, long while
What’s cookin’? (what’s cookin’?)
That girl, I wonder where she went, I miss her sweet smile
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin?).
Back in North Carolina, I played bass in a band
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
She was singing there with her sister in that land
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?).
That’s what I’d like to know
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’ on her grill
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
Is she missing me, where did she go? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
GUITAR BREAK
What is she cookin’ up, what’s cookin’? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’ – long time, no see (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’ – does she ever think of me? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’ on her grill, I’d like to know (what’s cookin’?)
Is she missing me, where did she go? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin?)
Have you ever wondered, what’s cookin’? (what’s cookin’?)
That’s what I’d like to know, what’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’ on her grill?, what’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
Is she missing me, where did she go? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
Hey, what’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
Tell me, what’s cookin’?, (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
What’s cookin’?, what’s cookin? (what’s cookin’?)
(What’s cookin’?), What’s cookin’?
