As the song came before the dance, there was no dance when the song was originally written. When the song became a smash hit, Eva Boyd ended up having to create a dance to go along with the song. King stated this in her "One to One" concert video. In live performances of the song, Little Eva can be seen doing her version of the dance.

Ward spins a twisty mystery that spans the years immediately preceding the murders through decades following the event, following both Eve’s descent into darkness and Dinah’s struggle to heal in its aftermath. The story deftly weaves everything from cult dynamics to questions of poverty and class together to tell the story of Eve’s family, a ragtag group of children raised by a mysterious man only known as Uncle, who fills their heads with the story of a supposedly all-powerful sea serpent who will one day rise to destroy the world and purposefully sets the children at odds with both the more modern and supposedly “impure” residents of the nearby village of Loyal. There’s Nora, seemingly perpetually pregnant; Abel, a weak and ill-tempered boy who loves to rat out his siblings for his own gain; Dinah, who longs to explore the world outside their island; “Baby” Elizabeth, a constantly filthy eleven-year-old who is obsessed with injured animals and refuses to speak; and Eve, who longs for her Uncle’s power. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The only existing footage of Little Eva performing "Loco-Motion" is a small clip from the ABC 1960s live show Shindig! wherein she sang a short version of the clip along with the famous dance steps. She also sang "Let's Turkey Trot" and the Exciters' song " I Want You to Be My Boy" in the same episode. This TV show was one of Boyd's final performances until 1988, when she began performing in concerts with Bobby Vee and other singers. In a 1991 Richard Nader concert, she performed "Loco-Motion" and "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby". The concert was partially documented on videotape, albeit of marginal quality.

However, as King said in an interview with NPR and in her "One to One" concert video, they knew she could sing when they met her, and it would be just a matter of time before they would have her record songs they wrote, the most successful being "The Loco-Motion". Music producer Don Kirshner of Dimension Records was impressed by the song and Boyd's voice and had it released. [2] The song reached No. 1 in the United States in 1962. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. [2] An Ode to the Horniest Sitcom Parents, the Belchers and the Wilkersons By Clare Martin April 11, 2023 | 10:40am Kent, David (1993).

December 1942 Crash of a B-24 Liberator near Burketown, QLD". 11 May 2010 . Retrieved 3 August 2012. In 1994, Film Australia produced a one-hour documentary about the crash called Aeroplane Dance. It documents the crash and the Yanyuwa Aeroplane corroboree. The widely believed story of how the song "The Loco-Motion" came to be is that Carole King was playing music at home and Eva Boyd was doing some chores and started dancing to it; the dance The Loco-Motion was born. However, this is not true. Eva Boyd was introduced to Goffin and King and they realized she had a good singing voice, so they had her record "The Loco-Motion". King stated this during an interview on National Public Radio (NPR) shortly after Little Eva died. [7]

Little Eva" was a USAAF Consolidated B-24 Liberator which crashed north-west of Burketown, Queensland (near the Gulf of Carpentaria) on 2 December 1942. The aircraft was returning from a bombing mission when its crew became lost. As the fuel supply approached exhaustion some of the crew took to their parachutes.
