Cut Across Shorty

"Cut Across Shorty" is a song written by Marijohn Wilkin and Wayne P. Walker, originally released and made popular by Eddie Cochran. It was the B-side of his number 1 UK hit "Three Steps to Heaven" and the last song he ever recorded.

The song was covered in French by Johnny Hallyday. His version (titled "Cours plus vite Charlie", meaning "Run Faster, Charlie") was released in October 1968 and spent two weeks at no. 1 on the singles sales chart in France (from 9 to 20 November). In Wallonia (French Belgium) his single spent 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 9.

"Cut Across Shorty" was also recorded by Rod Stewart for his 1970 album Gasoline Alley, with Ronnie Wood playing several instruments. In 1993, Stewart reunited with Wood for a session of MTV Unplugged. During the session they recorded a version of "Cut Across Shorty" which was included on the album Unplugged...and Seated.
