Cute song. I was waiting to hear “shoo-wop” in the background :)

I just went on a du wop/50s song download binge..

Runaround Sue/Who Put the bomp/The Wanderer/Why do fools fall in love..and a lot others, including a bunch of elvis songs.

I also downloaded “That Thing You Do”

Best 50s song written WAY after the ‘50s for the movie titled “That Thing you Do”

REALLY FUN movie if you never saw it.

G rated IMO.

At Ten YO this song heard for the first time. Loved it and sang it for days until mom put a sock in my mouth just to shut be up.

It still has a place in memories.
Thanks!

Well, who wants to waltz and minuet?
Two hundred years ago, you bet.
But I want to dance right up to date,
'Cause this is 1958.

In 1958, it became fashionable for lyricists to compose song lyrics simply by stringing together song titles. "Believe It Or Not," released late in the year by an up-and-coming artist named Don Covay, contains at least 29 references to popular songs. "Follow the Rock," by the Bay Bops, a vocal group from Brooklyn, NY, contains 25 such references.

Believe It Or Not--Don Covay
