Name the song the line is from Part II

That was the Chords (No - not the Crewcuts ) Sh-Boom



****************NEW**************

I'm staying with the same year!

always the clown so funny in his way.

The Crewcuts recorded Sh-Boom in 1954 (same year as the Chords version). The Crewcuts version was the bigger hit in the U.S. I think I was in 7th grade that year, and I remember it well.

"always the clown so funny in his way" -- this one is driving me crazy. I know I know it, but can't put my finger on it, lol.

I was just a kid at the time, but I remember that one well. It’s Oh, My Papa. I think maybe Eddie Fisher had the big hit with it.



This one goes pretty far back, too:

Put your arms around me, and swear by stars above


(Hello, everyone. Good to be back. The wife and I caught a respiratory bug/virus nearly two weeks ago that knocked us both flat on our butts. I thought I was starting to recover a week ago, and then had a relapse. She came within a hairsbreadth of being hospitalized. It was some nasty shit, but I think we’re finally out of the woods.)

Glad you're feeling better, Jim. Welcome back!

Your song is "Sugar Time," by (I think) the McGuire Sisters.

New lyrics --

"lots of wavy hair like Liberace"

Oh I adore that song!!!!-- Mr. Sandman- bring me a dream

Good one, Suz!!


I was 6 in 1961:::



I come home with my pay
She asks me what I made
She thinks her advice is the constitution
But if she would leave that would be the solution
And don't come back no more

You had to feel sorry for poor old Ernie-K-Doe, who had to deal with that wretched Mother-In-Law of his.


OK 'cat, if you were 6 in 1961, you were 5 when this one came out:

Now you don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste

..but Bay-a-a-a-BY,
You got what it takes!!!:

sounds like date rape but in 1962 we swooned to this amazing voice:

Oh Yes I, I'm gonna love you
nothing can stop me now
'cause ........

I think that be Duke Of Earl, by Gene Chandler.



This was a #4 hit in 1964:

Don't let him tell you that he wants you
'Cause he can't give you love which isn't there

I think that was Bobby Rydell - Forget Him.
I don't think that it was big in England but I heard it on Radio Luxemburg.

Also 1964

I am forgotten, yeah, forgotten, oh how I wonder how is it I failed.

Some trivia. In the studio when they recorded this they stopped after the first verse and moved their capos up a fret.

Hi All,

Ah! That one is so sad, Tony. It’s “Mr. Lonely” by Bobby Vinton.

A little up-tempo ditty:

The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot
