Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On by Jerry Lee Lewis
“Lewis had been performing the song in his stage act and recorded it at his second recording session for Sun Records in February 1957. The release is reviewed in Billboard magazine on 27 May 1957. Supervised by producer Jack Clement, Lewis radically altered the original, adding a propulsive boogie piano that was complemented by J.M. Van Eaton's energetic drumming and also added suggestive spoken asides. Lewis later stated: "I knew it was a hit when I cut it. Sam Phillips thought it was gonna be too risqué, it couldn't make it. If that's risqué, well, I'm sorry." The song was engineered by Jack "Cowboy" Clement.”

Check this out,and enjoy.
Love the fact that this particular use case for a piano came out around the same time as the Nancarrow.
Raucous live version makes studio version seem sedate. Gotta love the Killer.
