Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On the Corner

Down On the Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival Song Info

"Down on the Corner" is a song by the Creedence Clearwater Revival. It appeared on their fourth studio album, Willy and the Poor Boys (1969). The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 20, 1969. The flip side, "Fortunate Son", reached #14 on the United States charts on November 22, 1969, the week before Billboard changed its methodology on double-sided hits. In Canada, the single reached #4 in December 1969, and #5 in New Zealand. The song performed better in much of Continental Europe, where it made #2 in Germany, #9 in Austria, #8 in the Netherlands, #17 in Flemish-speaking Belgium and #6 in French-speaking Belgium than in the United Kingdom, where it stalled at #31. The song depicts the fictional band Willy and the Poor Boys, and how they play on street corners to cheer people up and ask for nickels. Songwriter John Fogerty explained how the lyrics were derived: "{I} was kind of inspired by seeing an advertisement in the paper one day,” he says. “It was an ad from Disney that said in great big letters ‘Winnie the Pooh’. Something in my brain said ‘Winnie the Pooh and the Pooh Boys’. Obviously, that was close to ‘Willy and the Poor Boys’. As I began to develop this idea it turned into music in that weird mystical, almost uncontrollable way, music comes to songwriters. Winnie the Pooh is still my favorite character who I’ve shared with my daughter Kelsy since the day she was born, though she's growing out of it. But I'm not." The song makes reference to a harmonica, washboard, a kazoo, a Kalamazoo guitar, and a gut bass. In a 1969 appearance on The Music Scene, the band performed the song dressed up as “Willy and the Poor Boys”. Stu Cook played a gut bass, Doug Clifford the washboard, and Tom Fogerty the Kalamazoo, which mimicked the appearance of the band as they appear on the album cover. Billboard described the single as having "an infectious calypso beat."
