Frankie Lymon - Why Do Fools Fall in Love +LYRICS 5/22

[fallout2281]

I wasent alive for the 1950's but I love there music,I think the music now is shity , the 50's were the best!

[dankradschwag]

frankie lymon was the next johnny ace

[MrAlsfan5]

Frankie and The Teenagers never get the credit that they so richly deserve. Just love this song.

[Mynamesnigel]

How old is this song? 50's or 60's surely?

[Lithriinm]

@Mynamesnigel 1956 according to Wikipedia

[Uninserious]

i heard this at the end of episode 2 of the show Come Date With Me lol xD

[routyy94]

i have mafia 2 to thank for showing me this song. awesome song. awesome game.

[JustFunnyVids]

I was born in the wrong decade.

[simoltd]

Listened to this cos it influenced Amy Winehouse on Zane Lowes masterclass...awesome..

[SimpsonizersGoHard]

:') 

[JimmySmithWesson]

This song sounds good, this guy sings good. I still don't know why birds sing so gay tho...

[routyy94]

@JimmySmithWesson gay in 1950's = happy

birds sing nice tune= happy.

happy= gay.

[lukosius1221]

I like how in old times they used to say "gay" for a different meaning :)

Now this meaning is also fine! :)

[Hervey52891]

This song sounds so good, I wonder why his wives fell in love with him

[SiobhanLuff]

Whats the name of the two girls??

[CF1791ROLFMAO]

thumbs up if you though this should have been in fallout new vegas

[BombFoo209]

I wish I grew up in the old days. I'd choose oldies over RNB and rap music anyday. (:

[betawolfX8]

Thumbs up if you either came from Mafia 2, McDonalds, or you just have a good taste of music.

[ChrisTufferlo9l]

@betawolfX8 I've never heard this on Mafia 2. Obviously I don't play it enough ;)

[afgdrbhyz]

@betawolfX8 Mafia 2

[Delial82]

the time when "gay" didn't mean homosexual :D

[PatrickINcident]

@Delial82 Haha! That gave me a chuckle. I can also remember a time when "balls" simply referred to the plural of round, circular objects.

[TheITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

@Delial82 IT TOOK THE HOMOES TOO CHANGE THE MEANING OF HAPPY! LMAO JK

[captinkiller34]

mafia 2 got me here

[imz47986]

@captinkiller34 me 2

[MrMeepmoop]

McDonalds brought me here..

[pitchjazz]

its made to think that we are all so accepting nowadays but back then they were openly singing about being gay

[xboxphat]

thumbs up if you are still listening to this in 32853495305830

[emson10]

its impossible not to join in the ooo eerrrs in the advert!

[Se7eNzSiNz]

Mafia II Brought this back What a Song !

[movieman7000]

suck on this Justin Bieber

[movieman7000]

Man this song puts Bieber Cyrus and jonas brothers to shame. Hell Boy soprano Frankie lymon with the teenagers are in a class of their own man noone can touch these guys. Hell compare to this Bieber abd Cyrus look like fucing amatures.

[movieman7000]

justin beiebr miley cyrus and all other shitty artist aint got shit on this song

[MrNintendorkz]

Ya honestly what the shit is with everyone saying "Thumbs up if you listen to this in 2011" OBVIOUSLY I am listening to it in 2011 that's why I am at this video. But I listen to a lot of old music because in my opinion it is a lot better than most new age music. But it pisses me off when on literally every old song music video I go to i see some butt plug that has to say "omgz lolz thumbz up if you are listening to thiz in 2011 lol so kewl"....seriously.....STFU.

[mindarinas]

@MrNintendorkz agree

[DitchReality]

FUCK MCDONALDS :)

[Fghwads]

thumbs up if your listening to this in 1992

[FavouriteBit]

Mafia II made this song famous again. The people from the era it was released in have either kicked the bucket or are too 'forgetful' to remember it.

[NewAccountFFS]

@FavouriteBit This was released in 1956.. It's not even that old. Mafia II didn't even make it famous again, it just made it popular among people who played the fucking game LOL

[FavouriteBit]

@NewAccountFFS Almost 60 years isn't old? Take it you're a coffin dodger yourself?

[NewAccountFFS]

@FavouriteBit I'm 18. Rather awkward now...

[FavouriteBit]

@NewAccountFFS 

[FavouriteBit]

@NewAccountFFS Tell me, 18 year old, how do you know that Mafia II didn't make the song popular again? Your dad wasn't even swimming in his daddy's balls when the song was released.

[NewAccountFFS]

@FavouriteBit My dad is 1945-2011, so yeah if you don't mind you can refrain from bringing family into this.

I didn't even know this song was on Mafia II, actually I didn't even know Mafia II existed for ages. As I said, it made it popular among people who have played Mafia II, I know plenty of people who have heard this song and never played the game. Sure it made it MORE popular, but it didn't make it popular AGAIN.

[FavouriteBit]

@NewAccountFFS I think you mean your dad was, lol? Try to refrain from from making such elementary mistakes in teh future plz.

People knowing of a song and a song being popular are two very different things. I'd heard the song beforeI played Mafia II.

Besides, I only posted the comment to see if it would annoy any old people.

[NewAccountFFS]

@FavouriteBit Was, Is, same shit when you're half asleep.

[showaddywaddyfan]

16 neally 17, im listening to rock n roll. todays shit hasnt got a word for it.

[fvn3489]

McD's Ad brought me here

[TheMegacurly1]

empire central this is Ricky Fox. i love this song but i only heard it on mafia 2

[millypeeed]

I was born in 1996 and i must say that this song is one of the best songs i've heard. I love this type of music and music from before i was born, it's proper soul music and proper instruments. No autotunes, real sounds, its so much better than all the mainstream crap out there today. Thumbs up if you agree! :]

[Sage395]

@millypeeed Spot on. Fantastic song, Frankie has a wonderful voice. It's a shame he died so young.

[214watson]

Empire Central

[TheTrueDimension]

try listening to this for 8 hrs straight. Experience: working @ Knotts

[Winterstar2]

Thank you McDonalds advert.. :p <3

[Cyrax181]

Why is this century's music so shit tell me whyyyy <3

[fanfilmsUK]

came here from the mcdonalds advert :)

[13urning101]

@fanfilmsUK send me the link? so ik what ur talking about? lol

[ryan1111111555555555]

ive got one criticism about the 50's, and thats the songs where too short :/

[1BettyAD]

@ryan1111111555555555 Thats because thats all they were able to record back then, but i agree somewhat

[ryan1111111555555555]

@1BettyAD lol it werent actually a criticism, i understand thats all they could record, i was sarcastically saying that i really like this song, however i suppose because its so short it has replay ability, i restarted this like 7/8 times lol

[1BettyAD]

@ryan1111111555555555 haha yea i know i love this song too and i didn't think you were being critical about it i just wanted to point that out

[lpsmania2809]

i heard this song on a advert ad i said to myself 'i actually like this'

[KartoffelNudelKeks]

did the word "gay" had the same meaning then like it has now ? then it was "happy". but did they associate the same like we would do?

:D

[AbsintheGirl27]

@KartoffelNudelKeks Nah the word gay then was (for want of a better word) more "innocent", if you will. It simply meant happy. Homosexuality wasn't really talked of back then (well not much) and gay was not a word associated with it. Even now in our "enlightened" times it is still something people hate or are embarrassed about,silly really. Love is love whichever way it goes.

[whogivesacrapp25]

GAY TO ME IS STILL HAPPY!:D

[austin332322]

mafia 2

[143eaglesfan]

thumbs up if if your still listening to this in 2011

[BearDownBean]

@143eaglesfan Wonder if 70 years down the road anyone will be listening to Nate Dogg and Warren G? MOUNT UP!

Guessing...no

[825Allie]

@143eaglesfan fuck yeah i am

[gdrugg2006]

@143eaglesfan

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THIS GUY IS AN ATTENTION SEEKING ASSHOLE.

[REALKILLADEALRECORDS]

@gdrugg2006

ur an attention seeking fuck face for using the thumbs up method haha

[gdrugg2006]

@REALKILLADEALRECORDS

I'm listening to this last year.

[mindarinas]

@143eaglesfan No, Sorry I am listening this in 1234

[beckkyy16]

@143eaglesfan shut up. i hate seeing comments like this on old songs. YES WE GET IT YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO KANYE WEST. you're so cool. i understand.

[Cmriayzay]

@143eaglesfan We sang it in our choir. Cute song!

[ChicagoPeet]

@143eaglesfan tumbs up and I'm only 20

and it's 2012 now

[LovinqqMyself]

Love This Song. Singing It All the Time.!

[MrEyecandy09]

love thisss songggg

[milkit81]

What the hell is mafia II?!

[TheRackleman]

@milkit81 It's a video game. The setting is the 1950's in New York, and you're basically a gun for hire for the Mafia. There's so many references here because this is one of the songs on the radio in the game.

[jko12hho]

@blakegriplingph It sure as hell is a swell song to listen to!

[MissMiffed]

Aww, I've just found this song again after being brought up on it as a child. Love it!

[FaeryFanatic20]

Thumbs up if you think Larenz Tate (the man who portrayed Frankie Lymon in the 1998 film 'Why Do Fools Fall In Love') is cuter than the actual Frankie Lymon.

[MrsL2000]

gay,gay,gay gayer then justin bieber

[NewAccountFFS]

@MrsL2000 Yeah, last time I checked Justin Bieber was straight. Stop using "gay" as an insult you pathetic little gob shite, and gay is referring to happy in this song.

[boomerxxx]

Birds are so gay.

[juls915]

love this song the best song eva !!!!!

[TheFallenEmoAngel21]

Thumps Up If You Heard This Off Of Mafia 2 :P

[Aldoo97]

@TheFallenEmoAngel21

I think the majority of us 10 year olds did

[RAY456001]

i love this song i sang it at the taltes show to day

[macryan99]

mafia 2 brought me here

[gab1971]

Why are trolls so gay? hehe

[tereyy1]

best song EVER!

[RanderCZ]

That guy on lower right corner looks like Jean Reno

[FarminFarmian]

@RanderCZ

He is the singer Dean Martin- you maybe know him from songs 'That's amore' & Sway :).

[Lyridsreign]

Thumbs up if you were here before Mafia II.

[CrisVangel]

Horrible sound for a CD my 78 record sounds WAY better..

[brezzy1548]

i love the movie

[jko12hho]

@blakegriplingph On 6/14/2011 at 4:52 PM, I'm just about to play that. :)

[0917gva]

This disappeared and, as I love this song, I just had to find a replacement. Just a great song - love it. Thank you for this post.

[jko12hho]

@blakegriplingph I first heard this song 17 years ago. When did you first hear it?

[blakegriplingph]

@jko12hho - Mafia II, to be honest. It was a 'swell song to listen to, though.

[jko12hho]

@legoman5188 I knew lot's of songs from the 50's before Mafia II. But, this has to be my favorite song from the 50's

[DOWNLOADmp3sHERE]

the fuck is this..

[jko12hho]

I heard this song at first while driving in Mafia II. Now, I can't resist listening to this song all the time.

[legoman5188]

@jko12hho Yeah, actually Mafia II is the reason I like music from the 50's

[HHH906]

@legoman5188 I totally agree :)

[blakegriplingph]

@jko12hho - Well, it is indeed quite catchy, even I can't resist listening to this every time.

[0917gva]

Great song - that pretty much says it all.  Thank you for this post.

[ASwainPCS]

Mafia II

[projectstreet]

i would want this song playing while im killing krauts in 1944..

[MegaBorner]

write with vito and joe ....



[joecabot34599]

i heard this song, oh about 15 years before Mafia II came out...pwned

[patternkid]

I was looking for another song and I stumbled across this amazing song. My gosh this is amazing. I couldn't imagine just the extent that when he sang this to the audience the thrill and pleasantness of his voice.

[floresjannet]

Frankie made this song when he was 13  Justin bieber is like 16 right now and still makes bad music! thumbs up if u agree

[AyoSupra321]

Why was i born in 1995

[angelsbeatlesfan]

@AyoSupra321 you were born in 1995.(I was born in 1996) Trust me, you dont want to live in the 50s. There was racism, wars, and other bad shit happening in the fifties.

[Tovkal]

@angelsbeatlesfan Mafia...(II)

[AyoSupra321]

@angelsbeatlesfan well there were rasism and that happened in the south ( and there is still rasicem going to today), there was only one war going on korea which lasted 3 years and that was nothing , the econimy was booming every body had money there was prosperity. there was barly any crimes and the music was great and there were no badwords. The music artist sang from the hart not like now they sing because they want money. there was barly any poverty and now u see bums everwere.

[angelsbeatlesfan]

@AyoSupra321 Yup. I told my teacher that I would love to live in the fifties. Guess what she called me an idiot. LOL Then she explained to me all of the reasons why and it totally changed my mind. I kinda forgot all the details she told me but it was CRAZY! Yeah my teacher grew up in the 50s in the USA and told she me the 50s were a terrifying time because of the Racism riots and other stuff. But that was only an opinion :) So who cares

[AyoSupra321]

@angelsbeatlesfan true but that was in the south

[AyoSupra321]

@angelsbeatlesfan trust me ur teacher is crazy



[caspercbo]

[Angus1MacGyver]

Why do birds sing so gay? No idea

[Angus1MacGyver]

@TheFatal05 enlightening comment. I knew that. Still dont know why they sing sooo...."jolly", "happy" "gay" :)

[caspercbo]

@Angus1MacGyver Why does birds sing so happy? IDK Either, But I know they dont sing gay like you think they do. Its called homosexual! Im fond on the 1940s how there terms actually matched the correct definition in the era. I wouldnt want to be born around the era still, because we would all be close to dead right now. Gay means happy, fag means bundle of sticks, hoe means garden tool. Stu "why do birds sing so gay'. Its just formed by the plublic, Since then, you cant say hoe, fag, happpy now.

[caspercbo]

@Angus1MacGyver  I ment you cant use gay,fag, or hoe in a nice way anymore. This song way made around a decent era, the 1940s!! but its where you also can get killed by the mafia, and your killer has 90% or somthing like that never to be found! Technology then sucks! But so simple! I love it! I

[mackglove649]

@caspercbo it was written in 1956

[caspercbo]

@mackglove649 oh crap, I gotta get my facts right too! lol But most of it is right.

[HabboMafiaRpg]

@Angus1MacGyver Gay means happy, but in the modern days, they change the word gay into sexual pronoucation: Gay = Homo.

[TheWarPope]

@Angus1MacGyver in the 1950's gay meant happy, so exactly he's singing why do birds sing so happy,

I'm not lying look it up..

[zirius89]

@TheWarPope

lol that's actually funny. haha

[TheWarPope]

@zirius89 Yes it is, I agree :)

[Aldoo97]

@TheWarPope

It still does.

[Aldoo97]

@Angus1MacGyver
