"Joey's Song" was a 1959 release for Bill Haley & His Comets. It was one of the band's last successful commercial releases. The song only made #46 on the Billboard Charts, however the song did make #1 in Australia for 8 weeks in Dec 1959 / Jan 1960. The band's long run of original successful commercial releases ran out in 1960, although the famous Rock Around the Clock was successfully re-released in 1964.
The song was included as the lead track on the band's final album release for Decca Records, Strictly Instrumental, released in December 1959.
The B-side to the single "Ooh! Look-a-There, Ain't She Pretty?", was used in the film Pink Flamingos and appears on the soundtrack to the film, along with a number of other hits of the period.
