A dal eredeti verziója az 1960-as években jelent meg először. Felélesztve a dalt, rock and roll stílusban rögzítették lemezre 1983-ban. Bonnie Tyler akkoriban a Total Eclipse of the Heart című dalával uralta az első helyét a slágerlistáknak, Shakin' Stevens pedig már akkor is Nagy-Britannia első számú rock&roll-énekesének számított aki sorra gyűjtötte az arany- és platinalemezeket. Stevens ötlete volt a Tylerrel való duett, ami a The Bop Won't Stop című nagylemezére került fel. A dal alig háromperces, mégis a lemez egyik legjobb slágere lett. Több országban is a játszási listák élére került és aranylemezzel jutalmazták a két előadót.

A Rockin' Good Way
If you’re gonna give me good kisses like that
Honey don’t you know I’m gonna give them right back
‘Cause that’s a kissing good way
(mmmm that’s a kissing good way)
Ah that’s a kissing good way
(That’s a kissing good way)
That’s a kissing good way
To mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around, don’t mess around)

To mess around and fall in love
(Don’t mess around, Sing it Bonnie, Don’t mess around)
You know you called me on the phone (Yeah I got your number)
Just because I was alone
Ah you came around a wooing (why not)
You better ask somebody if you don’t know what you’re doing
