OK, time for Rock and Roll history. This is the start of a song called Tutti Fruti by Little Richard. Little Richard (who is still performing) is a gay rhythm and blues singer who started out in the late 50's when homosexuality was taboo and the fact that he was black and gay made him a bit of an outcast for all sorts of reasons. He sang Tutti Fruti as a song that had adult, homosexual themes to say the least. Some producers heard him perform this and decided to record it with lyrics that were nonsensical, but not related to gay sex. America wasn't quite ready for Little Richard, not because he was gay. Liberace was quite popular then. It was because he was black. Therefore, Pat Boone recorded a very square version which was the big hit then. Fortunately, this version is not heard very often anymore.

It is a general expression of excitement that has about the same meaning as let s get it on.Though today it is obvious to us that little Richard is a little bit effeminate it was not exactly obvious back in the 50 s.The words to the song are definitely about sex but were not necessarily about Gay Sex.Record company executives made him change the line Good Booty to Tutti Frutti.The lyric s are pretty straight forward after the first line.Because we do in fact know what Daisy is doing to him.And we all so have a pretty good idea of what is going on with Sue as well.but the song is kind of like locker room boasting about what a guy did with his Gal but with out spelling it out

the song talked about gay sex so explicitly as to be almost pornographic. "Frutti" was not a random rhyme, but a re-appropriation of the common slang "fruity" that meant, essentially, "gay-acting." The original lyrics, according to Little Richard, went as follows: "A wop bop a loo mop a good goddam, Tutti Frutti, good booty, if it don't fit, don't force it, you can grease it, make it easy."

Tootie Fruity

It means
"Tuttie Fruitie.. HEY Rudy... I've got your lipgloss... you left it in the bathroom again... !"
Of particular irony considering Chuck Berry actually DID wear lipgloss... but refused to admit it... and made fun of Little Richard constantly..
