It was the late 50's or early 60's.  A song came out called "Raunchy" 
It had part 1 & part 2, as crazy as that sounds.  2 songs, 1 title. 
It was indeed 2 parts and if I remember right, Part 2 became more
popular.  Who recorded it, who wrote it.  It was an instrumental.  It
was extremely popular.

Hi Rosiesworld! 

The classic instrumental ?Raunchy? was composed by Bill Justis and
guitarist Sid Manker. It was first called ?Backwoods? but was later
renamed ?Raunchy? and became a hit in 1957.


Here is an excerpt from a biography of Bill Justis:

?Justis was a saxophonist, arranger and producer who created 
Raunchy", one of the classic rock 'n' roll instrumentals. (..) He grew
up in Memphis playing jazz and dance band music before joining Sam
Phillips' Sun Records in 1957 as musical director. Phillips liked a
tune called "Backwoods", composed by Justis and guitarist Sid Manker,
but renamed it "Raunchy'. It was issued as a single and Justis" own
honking saxophone solo made it a million-seller.?
