Honky Tonk (song)

"Honky Tonk" is an instrumental song written by Billy Butler, Bill Doggett, Clifford Scott and Berisford "Shep" Shephard. In 1956, Bill Doggett had a major hit on Billboard's pop and R&B charts when he released his version as a two-part single. "Honky Tonk" is Doggett's signature song.

It became one of the basic songs of the R&B and rock & roll repertoire, and was recorded by many instrumental groups.

The group The Beach Boys included it on their 1963 album "Surfin' USA".
