“(I Love to Play Piano) Let Me Bang Your Box” (1954)
"(I Love to Play Piano) Let Me Bang Your Box" is a 1954 novelty song by The Toppers. Robin Byrd (http://www.robinbyrd.com) plays the song at the end of her Manhattan cable tv sex show, "The Robin Byrd Show."
The porn industry guests on the show strip and dance to the tune (not really all about playing a piano, of course) at the show's end. The song and the Robin Byrd Show attained a cult status in the early 1980s, but Times Square and the entertainment world have changed considerably since then. The show appears in cable often in re-runs, and many of the porn palaces mentioned are now gone.

Release Date February 1, 1954
Well, my baby gave a party the other night
The party was gettin' dead
I spied a piano in the corner
Looked at my baby and said
"Baby, let me bang your box
Baby, let me bang your box
Baby, let me play your eighty-eight
Gonna play till the whole house rocks"

The Résumé
Robin Byrd
Occupation: Porn Star/Host
(1957- )
Hosts the 'Robin Byrd Show' on Public Access (New York City)
Mrs. Hardwicke in 'Debbie Does Dallas'
Starred in 'The Pink Ladies,' 'Silky,' 'Hot Honey,' 'Period of Attachment,' 'Her Name Was Lisa' and 'The Last Sex Act'
Sings the porno hit, 'Baby, Let Me Bang Your Box'
Why might be annoying:
She is obnoxious.
She is aggressive.
She appears nude on her show annually on New Years Eve.
She sells all sorts of adult junk on her web site.
She is a bit plump and too middle aged to be a porn star.
As a publicity stunt, she and Barry Manilow staged their engagement.
Why might not be annoying:
She prefers women over men.
She is still able to maintain a career.
