All genres of music are welcome. In the 111^th edition of Throwback Vibez 🕶️🎶 (2025), we recollect and reflect on “Big Ten-Inch” performed by Bull Moose Jackson.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

In 1952, risqué R&B singer and saxophonist Bull Moose Jackson (1919 – 1989) recorded a song entitled “Big Ten-Inch” or “Big Ten-Inch Record” that is ripe with sexual innuendo.  Yes, he’s referencing now defunct 10-inch vinyl records, BUT we also know he is referencing the rare, ten-inch *cough* penis 😳. To be fair, Fred Weismantel wrote this risqué penis – I mean – vinyl-driven classic 🤭.

“Got me the strangest woman / Believe me this chick’s no cinch,” Jackson sings in the first verse, continuing, “But I really get her going / When I get out my big ten inch.” Holy shit schlong 🍆, Bull Moose! A bold assertion, the singer and saxophonist cleans it up quickly:

“When I get out my big ten-inch

Record of a band that plays the blues

The band that plays the blues

She just love my big ten-inch

Record of her favorite blues.”

So, let me get this straight.  He really gets her going with his music? Hmm.  To be fair, Bull Moose Jackson is a great singer and rocks out on the sax.  But let’s not kid ourselves.  It is far more interesting when Jackson asserts, “I cover her with kisses / When we’re in a lover’s clinch / And when she gets all excited / She begs for my big ten-inch,” or, “Seems she goes for nothin’ / Except my big ten-inch.” I suppose she knows what she likes! Notably, Aerosmith famously covered “Big Ten-Inch Record” on their 1975 album, Toys In The Attic.  Despite pushing the envelope, particularly in the 1950s, Bull Moose Jackson drops an unforgettable oldie with “Big Ten-Inch”.
