Well we have several fans posting several times they predict it wins it all.
To me it’s more a ‘40s Sinatra Knock-off. But I can’t abide the theme!

Love "Rock around the Clock" but in this case my vote goes to:
MACK THE KNIFE.

Wow, it really is a knock-off, just not quite what I thought.

Sorry just what is in post 2. I again failed to update much of my boilerplate. I don’t know how to get it changed.

Rock Around The Clock
Milestone song in music and film history
Soloist died two months after the recording
Later reworked as “Over Under Sideways Down”
Produced by Billy Crystal’s uncle

Sadly, as this is the final two selection, I cannot choose either for “best.” I expected “Mona Lisa” to make it to the finals (although technically not my #1, it’s in the top echelon), which I would’ve cast a vote for.
Even though they won’t count, I’ll cast an absentee or “protest” vote for the top two I believe are the best of the 1950s:
“I Only Have Eyes For You” — The Flamingos, 1959 (#1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvzNeh4Mq1o
“How High The Moon” — Pat Suzuki, 1958 (#2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNv59lqRiGM
Both utterly haunting renditions.
