there's also this big hit record by tennessee ernie ford called 16 tons.'cause tennessee ernie ford's not available. but things went really badly that day. can you tell us about that? yeah, i lived with that lie a lot of years that was told. see, my name bo diddley and the song bo diddley got them confused in the program. and whoever printed up the program, they should have put it, "bo diddley doing bo diddley, 16 tons." but they put "bo diddley, 16 tons." so i thought i was supposed to do two songs. so i did the one that i was supposed to be there in the first place for, which was bo diddley. and ed sullivan got mad, you know. when i did 16 tons, and they were trying to get me-- all of them backstage freaking out trying to get me off the stage. and i'm doing what the program said, you know. [laughter] so i live with that lie. that, ah, he got real mad with me, told me i would never work nowhere no more, and he'd see to this, that, and the other. and i said, "man, i was drivig a truck when i come up here, "and i can go back to driving a truck. [laughter] "
