I remember that Harvey Wallangers were popular back in the 1970s. Then
there was the Freddy Fudpucker, a Wallbanger with a shot of tequila
added to it.

Very much so! No longer.

As I stated b4, most ppl, here, don't even know the origin of the name,
"Wallbangers", which we have one of.

I'm so old, I recall the 50's. A place that was famous for its ribs was
called "Poor Red's" in El Dorado, CA. It was also known for its "Gold
Cadillac's" (requires Galliano). BUT, I recall the 60's when Poor Red's
was known fer its ribs and "Grasshoppers" (Creme de Menthe). Like I
sed, things change.

I always assumed that the extra shot of booze would get people drunk and
it would be like banging their heads. The Freddie Fudpucker variation,
with even more booze, was a silly little tongue twisted that those who
got drunk on them would turn into lewd variations.
