Written by Willie Dixon, the song was one of Diddley's last record chart hits.〔 〕 "You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover" has been recorded by a variety of rock and other performers. ==Original song== "You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover" is based on a sixteen-bar blues structure that "boasts a beat that's utterly compulsive and primordial, but closer to a way-speeded up walking rhythm than to the standard Diddley pattern".〔 〕 Willie Dixon's lyrics use "a series of metaphors of all sorts of things you can't judge by their appearances before landing on the title phrase".〔 In 1962, the song reached #21 in the Billboard R&B chart and #48 in the Pop chart.〔 Diddley's original recording breaks the fourth wall by encouraging the listener to turn his or her radio up after the first verse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
