There are many instances of similar asides in 50's records.
Others?

Almost every Gene Vincent song!
"Hello Little Boy," Ruth Brown: "Blow the blues!"
"What'd I Say," Ray Charles: "Aw, play it, boy."

didn't see the original post, but doesn't Wilbert Harrison instruct
Jimmy Spruill to hit the guitar break in Kansas City?

One of my favorites is in the Sun RAB classic "Milk Cow Blues Boogie"
where,after the deceptively slow opening Elvis chides Scotty and Bill
"Hold it fellas...that don't move me...let's get real real gone for a
change".
The subsequent dramatic shift in tempo of the record also qualifies it
for that recent "Faster And Faster" thread :-)

No. The bit Roger referred to was from a December 1954
session. It was "Milkcow Blues Boogie" not "Cow Cow Boogie."
And Elvis did not do "Milkcow Blues Boogie" at the 1968 Comeback.

This is nonsense!
The "aside" I mentioned comes from "Milk Cow Blues Boogie" by Elvis
Presley on Sun 215 released January 8,1955.

Kokomo Arnold wrote "Milkcow Blues Boogie"
Gene DePaul, Don Raye, and/or Charles Davenport wrote "Cow Cow
Boogie"
