Rockabilly
The pompadour takes longer to style than the song does to play.
Rockabilly is a style from the Electric Roads family. 160 BPM, Weirdness 24, Style Influence 93.
A slapping upright bass, a twangy guitar, and a playful voice. Rockabilly: the rebellious root of rock and roll, retro, rowdy, and greased-up.

Sample excerpt
Mi abuelo tenía un carro que sonaba a tormenta y un peinado que aguantaba cualquier viento. Decía que bailar era la única cosa seria que un hombre debía aprender bien.
¡Vámonos, que la noche está encendida! El contrabajo ya nos está llamando. Mi abuelo tenía razón en casi todo, y en esto tenía razón del todo.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, festiva. El rockabilly pide verbos de movimiento y una figura carismática. A 160 BPM con slap bass, los versos deben ser de siete u ocho sílabas y terminar en palabra aguda.
