Rock Me Jerry Lewis

Released in 1986 on the independent label Tri-Five Records, this novelty single represents a peculiar intersection of mid-1980s pop culture and the enduring legacy of the legendary comedian Jerry Lewis. The track, written by Mike Elliott and Bud LaTour, leans into the eccentric, often frantic energy associated with Lewis's screen persona, reflecting a era where novelty songs were frequently produced to capitalize on recognizable cultural figures and pastiche-style humor.

The record itself is a piece of niche Americana, capturing the peculiar creative efforts of independent labels during the mid-80s to find success through offbeat thematic tributes. While the song is primarily remembered by collectors of novelty music and record label completists, it serves as a historical document of how the comedy icons of the 1950s and 60s continued to influence independent songwriters and producers decades after their initial cultural peak.
