- On 6/1/1979, President Jimmy Carter asked him to perform at the White House.
- Until his passing, he performed on a Wednesday each month at Blueberry Hill, a restaurant in the Delmar Loop neighborhood in St. Louis.
- His only #1 single was his controversial novelty song "My Ding a Ling".
- Owned a warehouse full of old Cadillacs, one from every three or four model years, all the way back to the mid-1950s, which he claimed to be trying to get rid of; but said that nobody would give him a fair price, so he just stored them away.
- Voted the fifth Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artist of all time by "Rolling Stone".
- People don't want to see seventeen pieces in neckties. They wanna see some jeans, some gettin' down and some wigglin'.
- I love poetry. I love rhyming. Do you know, there are poets who don't rhyme? Shakespeare did not rhyme most of the time and that's why I do not like him.
- It amazes me when I hear people say "I want to go out and find out who I am." I always knew who I was. I was going to be famous if it killed me.
- [on his song "School Days"] I wanted to write about school because most of my audience at the particular time was a school element.
- I would sing the blues if I had the blues.
