This was inspired by a comment by a fan to Fats Domino after Domino's car broke down: "Hey, look at Fats Domino, he's walking!" Domino then thought to himself, "Yeah, I'm walking," and wrote the song as he walked. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
At baseball games, this is often played when a player for the home team draws a walk.
A cover version of this song became Ricky Nelson's first hit after he performed it on The Ozzie And Harriet Show. He covered it because it contained the only 2 chords he knew how to play. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

Comments:
I've never heard Ricky Nelson's version, but I like the original a lot. I didn't even know his version existed until I heard it on the radio a few weeks ago. I'm 17 years old, and don't know much of that kind of music. I really like it though.
