How about an instrumental?
1958 - Tequila - The Champs
Hey! There's more than 1 song in there! Also, how is that an instrumental if it has a lyric?
Oops, I guess I should've listened to the whole thing before I posted it then. I'll change it. I don't know know why it's labeled an instrumental...
Wait? Haven't you heard that song before? Everyone's heard it I thought. The only lyrics are after a bunch of instrumentals everyone yells "Tequila" and then they go back to the instrumentals and do that again. If I'm not mistaken these are the lyrics: Tequila Tequila Tequila
There might be 4 tequilas but I think it's just 3. I think that still counts as an instrumental!
Yes, I've heard the song before, I was referring to the second song after it. But it IS labeled an instrumental despite those lyrics!
Oh, okay. I don't think that second song is supposed to be there in the first place though... _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

This is okay (although not quite good enough):
1957 - Not Fade Away - The Crickets feat. Buddy Holly
EDIT: Screw it! I'll add this song!
EDIT 2: After listening several more times, why was it ever an issue! This is a very good song. It'd be a good song even if it was the 1960s! In fact, it was a 1960s song - it was the Rolling Stones' first single. This version is better though. _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

1950s must've been the simplest of times. After listening to "Wake Up Little Susie" and focusing on the lyrics, they're hilarious. I mean, listen to this:
We've both been sound asleep,... The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep ... Whatta we gonna tell your mama Whatta we gonna tell your pa Whatta we gonna tell our friends... ... I told your mama that you'd be in by ten Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
I mean come on! Big deal, they were out until 4AM. Their reputation is shot?
When this song came out in 1957 Isaac Everly was 20 and Phil Everly was 18. It's one thing to be out 'til 4 when you're 14 but at 20 and 18 nobody will think anything of it! Today their reputation most certainly wouldn't be shot!
What's great is her poor parents were helpless, too! They can't call them - there's no cell phones in 1957! _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

Regardless of what it suggests, they were out 'til 4 AM so people will assume the worst of them. It doesn't matter if they're doing as the song suggests or helping the homeless, people will assume the former. Still, they're adults (18/20) so who cares? I guess things were different back then. I know that back when I was 18 if my friends were to act like these two I would think no less of them... _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

No on Happy Trails. Took about 2 seconds to arrive at that decision.
At least I added one 50s song last night. I'm proud of myself...I found it (Not Fade Away) all by myself (hey, isn't that a song, too..."All By Myself"?) _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

The 40s thread looked lonely, so I was looking for 40s music and kept searching wiki, and somehow ended up with Happy Trails. I was all set to add it in the 40s, but it was 1951! So I just added it here. I'm not too into country music either, but Hank Williams isn't bad. _________________

Not a big country fan either. Supposedly a few of the 1950s songs I added are also classified as country. I think the Every Bros. or something is called country for some reason... _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

Back to this song, now that I think about it I'm confused again
The song says the movie is over and it's 4:00 (I'm assuming AM). How does that work? Where would they be? They didn't have DVD players or VCRs or anything back then so they must've been at a movie theater or drive-in. Wouldn't they have been kicked out once the movie is over? Surely there's an explanation. I mean they would have realized this as soon as they wrote the lyrics. It's not like this song just came out today and they're pretending it's from the 50s and totally forgot about this detail. As far as the Everly Brothers were concerned there would never be a way to watch movies at home let alone movies in color (or was color sort of in existence by then?)
Who'd a though such simple music could be so complicated half a century later. HALF A CENTURY! Wow, this song is 2.5 times older than me! _________________ Coming soon: A better signature!

I told your mama that you'd be in by ten Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
I mean come on! Big deal, they were out until 4AM. Their reputation is shot?
When this song came out in 1957 Isaac Everly was 20 and Phil Everly was 18. It's one thing to be out 'til 4 when you're 14 but at 20 and 18 nobody will think anything of it! Today their reputation most certainly wouldn't be shot!
What's great is her poor parents were helpless, too! They can't call them - there's no cell phones in 1957!
The song suggests that they did more than just sleep. THAT is why their reputation is shot...
Regardless of what it suggests, they were out 'til 4 AM so people will assume the worst of them. It doesn't matter if they're doing as the song suggests or helping the homeless, people will assume the former. Still, they're adults (18/20) so who cares? I guess things were different back then. I know that back when I was 18 if my friends were to act like these two I would think no less of them...
Yes, things were different back then. I don't think your understanding what I'm saying. People back then usually stayed virgins until they were married. Do you understand now?
I understand the song and I understand what you're saying. I'm saying things are way different today. I mean nowadays as long as you wait 'til you're 14 or 15 nobody will worry about you. Heck, even younger is acceptable just don't get pregnant...
Well, I'm back to I must've hit my alarm when I turned it off yesterday. 8 AM is too early. I'll be back in a few hours I suppose.
Things are totally different today! That song would not work now a days unless it was rapped and had swear words in it or something...
Back to this song, now that I think about it I'm confused again
The song says the movie is over and it's 4:00 (I'm assuming AM). How does that work? Where would they be? They didn't have DVD players or VCRs or anything back then so they must've been at a movie theater or drive-in. Wouldn't they have been kicked out once the movie is over? Surely there's an explanation. I mean they would have realized this as soon as they wrote the lyrics. It's not like this song just came out today and they're pretending it's from the 50s and totally forgot about this detail. As far as the Everly Brothers were concerned there would never be a way to watch movies at home let alone movies in color (or was color sort of in existence by then?)
Who'd a though such simple music could be so complicated half a century later. HALF A CENTURY! Wow, this song is 2.5 times older than me!
Well they did have televisions back then (black and white), and stations did show movies on them back then, so I'm assuming they are at home. Unless they had all night drive ins back then. I'll do a little research on this. _________________

1950s must've been the simplest of times. After listening to "Wake Up Little Susie" and focusing on the lyrics, they're hilarious. I mean, listen to this:
We've both been sound asleep,... The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep ... Whatta we gonna tell your mama Whatta we gonna tell your pa Whatta we gonna tell our friends... ... I told your mama that you'd be in by ten Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot

The song is written from the point of view of a high school boy to his girlfriend, Susie. In the song, the two go out on a date to a drive-in movie theater, only to fall asleep during the movie. They do not wake up until 4 o'clock in the morning. They then contemplate the reactions of her parents and their friends.
Although banned in such places as Boston, the song does not state that Susie and her boyfriend had sexual relations. Indeed, it strongly implies that they did not: the couple simply fell asleep because they were bored by the film. Now they must consider the implications of the scandalous appearance of their situation.
