Good evening, Pro...kicking back for the weekend?

[Fiji Hill]

The lyrics of this song are full of references to Oldies but Goodies.

Follow the Rock--The Bay Bops (1958)

Duck back in the alley with Long Tall Sally;
Take her up on a mountain to a sudden valley.
Roll over Beethoven till your face turns blue,
Shake a hand, kiss Speedoo, with the blue suede shoes.
Make a flying saucer out of Maybelline.
That’s how you follow the rock.

Rock around the clock in an old gown,
Take a flat-topped head and shave it round.
Make a band of gold from a hollow stone,
Get stranded in the jungle, ride a seesaw home.
Find out why fools fall in love.
That’ how you follow the rock.

Then go a thousand miles away to Blueberry Hill,
Do a rock and roll waltz on a window sill;
Ask why, baby, my doll’s all shook up?
This ought to bring you luck.

Make a pledge of love to a party doll,
Find 99 ways to make a toll call.
Get a teenage crush on Marianne,
Now don’t be cruel; do the best you can.
Rock around your baby, never, never stop.
That’s how you follow the rock.

Jump back, baby.

Howdy, PRP.

Is your daughter in town yet? It’s probably been a long week for you, waiting to see her again. It’s been a while.

[radu]

PRP??? Just saw my typo. *sigh*
Howdy, PRO. :-)

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, hot temps here, just kicking back enjoying the A/C, both kids will be in town tomorrow, looking forward to seeing them for my 75th birthday! (Sucks getting old 😁)

[Fiji Hill]

Seven Nights to Rock--Moon Mullican (1956)

[PROCON]

See post #8.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I’ll bet everyone up there was happy to see a much prettier day. The sunrise was gorgeous.

Back shortly. I’m cravin’ a milkshake from Arby’s. LOL

[radu]

Well, well. A happy birthday to you!! It’s going to be a fun one this year.

[Fiji Hill]

We're at that young, cool stage,
And we're living in a rock and roll age.

Rock and Roll Age--The Four Js (1958)

Milkshake...Arby’s???? Sounds like a winner!!

Thanks, Kathy! I haven’t heard The Name Game in a long time.🤗

[Fiji Hill]

A doo-wop song that rang out on the western slope of Fiji Hill in the fall of 1958:

Tiger Roar--The Liberal Artists

Tiger roar, hear the tiger roar,
All you loyal Oxy men!
Tiger roar, hear the tiger roar!
Occidental! Occidental wins again!

[Fiji Hill]

Sputnik II--Al Barkle & the Tri-Tones (1957)

I also like the flip side.
