( March 2017 ) Play media Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin singing `` Blueberry Hill '' on a charity concert in 2010. In the popular 1970s sitcom Happy Days, set in the 1950s, lead character Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard, would often sing `` I found my thrill... '' ( the first line of Domino 's 1950s version of `` Blueberry Hill '' ) in reference to pretty girls he dated or wanted to date. Joe Edwards ' restaurant Blueberry Hill, on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis, Missouri, where Chuck Berry frequently played, is named after the song. The Far Side, a comic written by Gary Larson, features a comic parodying the lyrics of this song. A man is talking in a phone booth on top of a hill named `` Blueberry Hill. '' He says into the phone `` Norm ? This is Mitch... You were right -- I found my drill. '' The parody is of the line `` I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill. '' Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin made a cover performance of the song on December 10, 2010 before an audience of international film and television celebrities, in support of a charity for ill children. Videos of his performance quickly went viral worldwide. References Jump up ^ `` Victor 26500 - 27000, a numerical listing of issues ''. 78discography.com. Retrieved 7 October 2011.
