[ATSF1927]

I remember when Rock-n-Roll hit, at we thought it was trash music, but what I here today this is wonderful music. He was one of the few to use a Steel Guitar.

[Somosmuymalos]

[willpn100]

The National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America announced that Bill Haley´s all-time classic, "Rock Around the Clock" has been declared the top traditional rock and roll song of the 20th Century.

[ffugenw]

Im perplexed by the comments of steveox1961: Rock & Roll, clean. No drugs,sex,violence? "Rock Around the Clock" was featured at the beginning of the movie BLACKBOARD JUNGLE which featured such good things as sex, violence etc? After all one of the meanings of the term "Rock & Roll" is a reference for sex. Remember Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly" - she/he sure loved to ball at the house of blue lights. There were big objections to the music by many for what it was doing to teens.

[LaurelVentura]

@ffugenw Agreed. There's a suggestion even in this song that it's not just "dancing" that's happening.

[MyMauriciosanchez]

the film back to the future marty mcfly could sing this song when I was in 1955

[willpn100]

Many happy returns of the day Bill. The country needs your songs!

[willpm100]

The Greatest Rock and Roll Hit!

[willpn100]

Good video about the first Dynasty of Rock and Roll. He was the first to overjoy all the crowd and to teach all the world how to rock and roll. His name is engraved in our memories.

So it is not surprising that there is a sharp dividing line between before and after "Rock Around the Clock",the song that started the rock revolution!.

[nigboynate]

thumbs up if that guy looks like bud lightyear

[stuvo1977]

True classic rock

[Bigneebug]

rock and roll has always been about sex. The term 'rock and roll' is slang for sex in the 30s.

[nicks75]

This song is the epitome of music.

[EamonnMurphy00]

The guitar solo in this song, short though it is, absolutely rules all.

[bristolred5]

those were the days when people could spell too



[pongboy1100]

i'm 16 and i recently bought a original record of this wit ha other one on teh other side... i am happy as a little kid with a new toy!

[willpn100]

Bill Haley is known the world over as the Father of Rock ’n’ Roll. Haley was the first white artist to combine elements of rhythm & blues, western swing, and hillbilly music to produce the upbeat, danceable, and infectious sound known today as rock ’n’ roll.

[edwards21416]

you are looking at the oringinal Buzz Lightyear

[jimmygster]

Fantastic! Thanks.

[stratoblaster379]

MY FAVOURITE AND WILL ALWAYS BE!

[viicious]

Anyone who is old enough to complain about old lyrics being different than new ones needs to get a damn reality check: TIMES CHANGE.

[Mrjenkkifutis]

I love the coreography from the band<3

[shortyndblue1]

i love this song i think that the old rock n roll songs r awesome!!!!

[ontario863]

Those Girls Are Pretty And Natural

[bobluman4]

Rock and Roll !

[FOOT7JK]

Im only 9 but me still rock around clock

[max16v]

Great song, but this was lip synced. There is a slap bass on the recording but the bass player isn't doing any slap on the video; was just played back live.

[MusicEd1]

Still love this cut! What a great guitar solo.  I never get tired of hearing the song or the solo. Peace.

[Flashtoorev]

What's with all the women in the crowd chewing gum like sluts?

[nekroe]

@Flashtoorev gives me the start of a boner

[MrsKrueger22]

the fact that hes just standing there and sounds that fucking good is amazing..lets see some asshole these days sound that beautiful while being that raw.

[1024525]

This is hands down one of the greatest rock and roll songs of the 50s....oh and is it me or does Bill Haley look like the Buzz Lightyear doll from Toy Story?

[bobluman4]

@1024525 no he does a little look like buzz same head shape.

[YetiSandvichVideos]

That's music.

[Rolacko]

0:40 First Shred guitar solo from 50`s

thew guitar player is the Great Franny Beecher

[dipsterdum]

dogs



[MrAndre203]

white people had some good music back then. Wish I go back in time

[excalibur183]

@MrAndre203 Back then, our good music was just copying the Rhythm and Blues of the time.

[xxplos1v3]

i'm 18 and don't really listen to rock but i looooooooooooveeee this song. its fun and moving and doesn't have stupid or bad lyrics. its clean and good. there really arent many songs like that out there. i wish i could have lived in around this time :)

[Broomester98]

This song is one of my top ten favorite songs:)

[lexiethesaint]

I love this song

[AngeloPista]

Best music of Mafia 2

[heb1114]

I may be 19, but I'm always rocking around the clock to music like this. Long live rockabilly! Go cats, go!! :D

[AK1LE5]

hahaha very very very niice I love this music 50' 60' 70' 4ever

[50zcarsman]

What I like best about this clip is the two unselfconscious young girls at about 0:35. These days, they'd be preening for the camera or mouthing an obscenity or pointing out a bicep tat or even flashing their boobs.

[hajune]

I'm only 83 but I wish I was born this era. My friends listen to lots of junk. i realy like this.

[ginger1959able]

too true Bill was the first rock and roll KING

[poopingeneral]

This is what I call music! absolutely great! 5 stars to the person that uploaded, and to the great singer Bill Haley!

[steveox1961]

Im an Huge fan of Bill Haley. Im 48 though. But those were the days when Rock & Roll was clean. No songs about drugs,Sex,Violance or Suicide. It was just good old clean fun.

[Weidenberg]

@steveox1961

I`m 46 and a haley fan as well. But I also like modern music.

[GHOSTxXx10]

@steveox1961 shit that was back in the day

[steveox1961]

@GHOSTxXx10 No is not. Todays music is crap. Like ACDC and KISS. Kids back then didnt bring guns or knives to school to cause trouble. Kids were very respective and polite to adults cause parents disapline them. Nowadays parents dont care is why todays kids always in trouble with the law and in trouble with other things.They have no respect for authority unlike kids back in the 50sb did. I blame TV and Movies is why society is out of hand today.

[GHOSTxXx10]

@steveox1961 i agree man 

[megaspetke]

@steveox1961 AC/DC is actually inspired by artists as chuck berry and plays songs that is much as same as this songs

[TB674]

@steveox1961 lol, are you kidding me? rock and roll = sex.... that's why it was invented, so parents wouldn't know what they were singing about.

i guess thats what they mean with hard rock...

[trisanatennant1066]

@steveox1961 Hi Steve. It's me. I agree.

[steveox1961]

@trisanatennant1066 You should list to all Haleys songs. Like See you later Alligator and R-O-C-K

[DrakoxCatalyst]

freakin agree :D im 18 tho X3 but i love the music where they have fun ^^ nothing too modern -.-

[LSweet2007]

@steveox1961 Good Song, BUT this song does not represent the soul of rock and roll music! Rock and roll music is the embodiment voice of a social protest movement.

This is a good song, but it is also a manufactured song to make money! Just like all of Elvis Presley's music!

And there was sex in rock and roll music in the 50's for example Little Richard, Chuck Barry, and Jerry Lee Lewis have all expressed sexual lyrics in their songs!

[icebox766]

@LSweet2007 You don't understand rock and roll at all. Rock and roll music wasn't coopted into becoming the "voice of social protest" until the mid to late sixties. You might recall that in the 1950s and early 1960s protest music was folk music, not rock and roll. Nearly all pop music has been "manufactured" by professional songwriters, this is true of rock and roll as well. So the soul of rock and roll isn't protest, it's simply a primal, dancy beat. Music to dance to and have fun with.

[STRUTTER777U]

@LSweet2007 Rock'n'Roll should be about having a good time, not about politics. In the 50's Rock'n'Roll was fun, not some political protest crap.

[nekroe]

@steveox1961 the fuck you think "rock around the clock" meant??

[AlexandSeanProduc]

@steveox1961 they're having sex around the clock... that's why this music was so controversial to the older generation at the time.

[mownai2]

@steveox1961 Bro, you right! this music is more agreeable to listen more than barney, and that is more better than the bull they give us these days.

[TheManolis]

@steveox1961 Come on! Really? You sincerely believe this song is NOT about sex?

[steveox1961]

@TheManolis Do you ever listen to ACDC,Twisted Sister,Ozzie Ozzborne And Prince? The Lyrics back in the 80s were all about sex,drugs,Violance and suicide. Bill Haley was good old clean fun nothing about making out with a girl,, Getting up, crime n violance and killing yourself.

[Khultan]

@TheManolis Don't be one dimensional.

[TheManolis]

@Khultan How am I "one dimentiolal"? Our dear Steveox1961 is the one who appears not to understand the sexual innuendo of the song.

[Khultan]

@TheManolis Why, oh, why must one be completely subjugated to only a single interpretation and nothing else? It's fascistic.

[Khultan]

@TheManolis No, stranger, it's direct origins, as far as the U.S. of A. is concerned, by gospel singers in the south to mean something of spiritual rapture then lifted it's meaning for what you so adamantly and strictly want to consign it to. For shame.

[TheManolis]

@Khultan Is trolling the way you’re having fun? What a waste of time!

[TheManolis]

@Khultan Is trolling the way you’re having fun? What a waste of time!

[Tycho114]

@steveox1961 Um, not quite. One of the reasons the adults of that era hated the very words "rock 'n' roll" was because they thought it was a euphemism for...something else. And they were right.

[hypershadow647]

@steveox1961 yeah chuck berry never wrote anything about sex at all

[MillBelater]

@steveox1961 ya think? "one eyed cat peepin in a seafood store". Good clean friday nite fun.

[WilliamDRowlett]

@steveox1961 I'm almost 50 as of 8-4-11. My mom tells me she saw Bill Haley as a teenager in Baton Rouge in the 50's. The place "ROCKED!" You really have to love that more innocent era when we had Eisenhower and didn't have hippies.

[steveox1961]

@WilliamDRowlett Yeah,,Basck in those day they didnt have Democratic Liberalsim like we do now :( Not to mention ,,It wasnt drugs,sex and rock and roll like nowadays :(

[SupraJin]

@steveox1961 i'm his fan since 12yrs old. i'm 19 now

[maggawo]

bill haley lebt mit diesem hit bis in alle ewigkeit :D

[blackberri64]

Great song, but I have to laugh a bit at the girls chewing gum xD

[JVC516]

@blackberri64 The audience was given gum to chew because the show was sponsored by Beechnut, so it was intended to be a promotion for the sponsor if everybody was chewing Beechnut gum as the cameras panned the audience.

[buttheadsexy]
