  • they dont make music like this anymore. It seems to have a mystique to it, maby thats because its so old. I wish some of todays music still sounded like this today. This music seems to trancend everyone of every race.

  • What car is it at 1:08??

  • @MvdHmusicgroup it looks like a '49-'53 Buick Roadmaster (though it could be a Super or Special, but I think all the cars in this clip are more high-end models)

  • Who's Sean Kingston

  • Its ashame that sean kingston copied this song its called "dumb love" btw

  • I think Sean kingstan just copied the  dum dums off of this song

  • @edman400 agree! That seems to be the ideal time ; not to mention growing up to music while it changes.

  • We still banging oldies in L.A "323"......

  • Down down down to the penitentiary

  • @LON009 Gotta love Lennon

  • in the beginning of the video wasn't a 57 chevy that was a 56

  • @respectthefink You are right, either a 55 or 56.

  • @respectthefink actually I'm pretty sure it was a '55 :) The rear chrome line is straight only for the '55 model

  • These cars are so beautiful. I'm 15 and I know this song by heart. I love the bass in this song

  • This is the song John Lennon was singing the day he met Paul McCartney

  • best part at 1:39

  • i like the mercure 0:31 to bad ford had to cut the line

  • My question is are these the voice of the real Del Vikings or Dell Vikings there were the original and they split to form a second group (Clarence Quick Kripp johnson

    don jackson samuel patterson and bernard robertson...does anybody knows

  • i wish i was born in the fiftys. it seems like a more peaceful time.

  • I'm 13 AND YES I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • @StereoLightz im 12 and i love this song to XD

  • @siraiden10 and I'm 15 and love this song who cares?

  • Is this a live recording? Its not the 45 rec, but definitely is Norman Wright. Just wondered what its origin was.

  • 1 of the best songs from

    1957 to 2011 and forever

  • cars where works of art back then,chrome,charter,style.most of all affordable..how much is the cheap cars now $10k, $30k if you want something half ass nice

  • Greatest time in the entire history of earth and I lived it all the way! if you mouthed off in school you were sent to the office, came back and lived with it, today they put you on ritalin call the drug rehab people put your parents in the same program, then through them in jail if you screw up on the program

    Try this one in 57if you came back from hunting the rifle was in the rack you were hunting today they go to lock down arrest you for terroism, search your home bust the door down.LUNITCS!

  • "What we need are like, five doms and domby dooby"

  • I dress like a greaser and drive a 1964 impala and 1955 chevy pickup but its just not enough......

  • maybe  if i could go to this time I could find a good woman and a good job and have a decent life for a change........?

  • @slipsonic I'm sure you could and now too.

  • wheres Rod Serling with his time machine when you need him ?

  • Love the cars. What was that one with the shark fin?

  • @MrBigpapi01 You probably mean the cadillacs--'58 and '59 I believe.

  • This is not the original.  The original group was a mixed (race) group. And there were several mixed race groups back in the 50's. The original Dell Vikings sounded great.

  • The 1950's was the best time go grow up--Great music from Do-Wopp--Great Jazz...Its like every town was Mayberry,Base ball stars played for the love of the game not for millions ...Ther was 1Flag and every one spoke English..Most Parants stayed married till the end--Wasnt many divorces back it those days.Take me back to 1950 and drop me off...God Help America in 1912................

  • One of the few integrated bands in rock

  • I need a time machine ....

  • Every time I get that feeling of being born in the wrong generation, I comfort myself with the fact that I have a (digtital) record collection of oldies that would take up the whole house back then

  • I wonder if younger people realize that the whole "doo-wop" sound was due to the fact that we had no musical instruments and stood on the City Street corners at night and sang songs acappella (without accompaniment) so the background singers voices would serve as the instruments. Dum-dum-dum, wah-wah-wah-wah! Our parents didn't understand or like it. So it became very popular ;-)

  • @pookatim Exactly.

  • Innocent wonderful times. Making out in the drive in. dancing close. discovering boys were cute & wanting to hold their hand. Such a precious time in your life. Waiting to hear your special someone tell you that they loved you. So very different now. I consider myself blessesd to have lived through the 50 and 60's. It will never be the same again. You younger people have lost out on a wonderful adventure in life!

  • @LeeLeeDe1 I was born in the 80's and my parents are from this era....we still had oldie stations...too bad that ended at 10 but no need to worry just turn on rockin robbin and every white young person jams....when we take over we will bring the good all days back whether it be McCarthy Trials or whatever it takes we will ensure our children do not forget the culture... look at Rand Paul and Ron Paul....no more large corporations funded by the gov and private property rights with no amnesty!!

  • Easy folks. Don't be stepping on anyone's rainbows. Being a product of this era, my remembrances are also not quite so innocent. Nostalgic? Yes. Different than today? Yes. Camelot? No more than what it is today. I can say, musically, that I'm going to have a lot more fun and have much more music to dance to at my 50th Class reunion this year than the poor suckas of today will at theirs 50 years from now.

  • @CapCapello Now that is a comment i like

  • @CapCapello Ya got that right.

  • @CapCapello I wasn't born til 1964 but my Mom always listened to Rock-n-Roll of this era, IMHO the best era of Rock! Enjoy your 50th Reunion!

  • One more thing, music today is what it is because of what the foundations of the past, call it evolution of taste or whatever but the reality is that music has a symbiotic relationship with the ever present social changes, politics, religion, etc. Of course today we are more prone to be bombarded with more "factory" made music with plenty of talentless individuals that benefit on their social appeal and physique than before (studio music) So I don't see much difference in style but accessibility

  • Sure this music was nice, but what makes me laugh is all these idealist fools in here talking about theirs being a time of openness and equality, race didn't matter in music back then? common! Those who stand by that thought either lived unaware of the realities of their time or suffered from a good citizen syndrome, (as long as they believe it is wrong to be racist but don't get involved everything is fine in their world).

  • Right your are State Trooper...I'm 66...long for those days long ago. I'm tired of the Larry the Cable guy dress on the men...Sweats or pajamas & flip flops on the women.

    Americans used to be so classy !  Our music was known all over the world too.

  • Statetrooper, you are talking sense. I was a schoolboy back in the fifties, and these here are just the kind of stuff I like and always will. I'm certain there is a market for these kind of sound, people want change and listen to something different. Just look at these guys singing simple songs and doing it for us to enjoy, even your Ma and Granma will love it. Time to stack Rock & Roll away and introduce something new ok Statetrooper, over to you !!

  • From back in the days when public obscenity got you a deserved puch in the mouth, when Hollywood was about entertainment, not politics and making sleazy, uncivilized crap, and elected politicians mostly acted for the good of the country, not to help their union sponsors and big campaign contributors

  • back when cars and trucks had style. music was great. the country was strong. people were decent.  I WANNA GO BACK.

  • A hit in 1957, this is from the R&R Revival era, early 70s. Features the original lead (Norman Wright) and bass singer (Clarence Quick, who wrote the song).

  • @vleon1012 JFK assassination was in November 22,1963 - not the 50's.

  • @vleon1012

    Things are a LOT worse now than in the 50's.

  • WAS THE FIRST 45 I BOUGHT IN 1957 BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES

  • yes folks it wasn't just the great music back in the 50-60's. we had no cellphones or computers. we never walked alone. were also with our friends. your parents always knew who your friends were because they called the house phone and rang the door bell. we were social and we always respected parents and people. today kids just text and use facebook and never meet in person. its dangerous because people lie and its secretive. parents dont know who there friends are. we dressed in fashion also.

  • I have a version by the Chevrons...anybody heard of them? I think it's even better than this one.

  • Thanks for posting.Love the old pics also.

  • Such a great era of music - not much worth listening to now.

  • im a 13 year old boy and i live in a rap infested school and i loooove this song

  • Very interesting. I do love the original song, it's a great record. I detect an electric bass, and a full band, I would guess this version is from the post "American Graffiti" period when all things 1950's were given new life. The voice is also deeper, which may indicate that the original was sped up somewhat.

  • Does anybody know where this recording comes from? I had the single of this song when i was a kid -- as posted by Letec45 -- also by the Del-Vikings, but this is a different recording. I never heard it before. It's really excellent!

  • I like to think of this time as the golden age, cool music, cool cars, and cool people.

    I love this song

  • @ statetrooper: Yes indeed you're so right. The 50s marked the zenith of good popular music. If I had had the power of deciding how music was to continue from the 50s and VERY early 60s onwards, then neither the Beatles nor the Rolling Stones, for example, would have ever been heard of again. As you also correctly indicate, popular music has severely deteriorated leaving us with this tuneless, profane rubbish being plugged today.

    My best regards to you,

    Horatio Nelson.

  • Great video! Few things depict an era so accurately as cars!

  • America had it all musically back then. So sweet because we can look at our REAL childhood through the sound of something like this. It reminds me of my uncle driving us to Michigan in his beat up car and making it there, summer break, tasty freezes (a huge one for 5 cent). Peace time. A time when guys sang good songs under the street light and Mama giving us three calls before coming inside and neighbors looking out for us kids, even if they were 'nosey'. Thanks.

  • Great looking back in history when gas was only 25 cents a gallon,and we were told to see the USA in a Chevrolet! Also the music was real music back then!

  • damn i wish i was 16 in the 50s....becuse tha music was better kids new wtf a drive shaft in a car was and tha cars where 10 time better! like this if u agrreee with me

  • @violentJ678 Yeah, well I was 16 in the 50's, grew up in a valley town just like the one in "American Graffiti". I even was picked up by some hoods the way Dreyfuss was in the movie and drove around all night with them. I even dated a girl named "Debbie"! The music was fun, but nothing like the late 60's and 70's. I loved Little Richard, Fats, Diamonds, Del Vikings, and, especially, Gene Vincent. It was also a racist, intolerant era, and we barely dodged a Nixon bullet in 1960.

  • @barkingspider403 yea if ur where picked up by hoods now they would rape ya

  • @violentJ678 not only rape, they would skin you alive.

  • Gotta be a live version! But no doubt The Del Vikings! Dig the guitar solo! Ha!!

  • what version is this? i know its not the original, but its not that bad

  • They were the best cars USA ever made

  • wicked stroller x

  • This is my fav. Dell Vickings song

  • John Lennon was playing this song with the Quarry Men when him and Paul first saw each other.

  • First time I heard this song was in Stand by me...I've been hooked ever since ;-)

  • excellent song

    now ,i am in a good temper ^^

    The Del-Vikings - Come Go With Me (Alternate Version) is fine too

  • excellent song

    now ,i am in a good temper ^^

    The Del-Vikings - Come Go With Me (Alternate Version)

  • this is music ladies and gentlemen. music in the 50's-60 were peaceful, fun , simple and always had a theme or a messege to it. it didn't matter what race you were, music attracted everyone and mostly everyone respected one another. there were no swears in the songs. singers had class by dressing neatly. today music focuses on different groups and sure hell not the same. music is crap today. no one respects anyone anymore. well if i had a voice, i will try to bring back music like this.

  • @statetrooper012 lulz? Race was a huge issue back then, ask any old person who was there. I'm pretty sure their parents said a lot of racist things about groups like the Del-Vikings.

  • @pwkid Yes, but the interesting thing is, a fair number of doo-wop groups were integrated. 

  • @statetrooper012 I agree music had class back then but wasn't the 50s kinda well bad? Woman had less rights and earned much less than men and sexism was common. Blacks were treated as second class citizens.

  • @statetrooper012 except for the korean war... the forgotten war.

  • @statetrooper012

    me any my mom were just talkin this last night.

    this world has just gone to shyt.

  • @statetrooper012 thats a little intense buddy.. are you saying that music stopped to exist after doo wop died.. i think most would agree that music quality has gone down but theres still a lot of great acts

  • @partyongarth420 you know what i mean though

  • @statetrooper012 I think you pretty much captured it. You must be an old fart like me.

  • @statetrooper012 Most rock in the 70s'80's and a LOT of 90's music has meaning. Just isn't as obvious.

  • Forget the cars!!! What about the music??? Love itxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • The king of Slickville Cappella Street Corner would rock this song at Damico's

  • The king of Slickville Cappella Corner would rock this song at Damico's

  • a lot of great classics came out in 57',58'

  • i think, when i die, they'll bury me with a black and white television.

  • So do I!!

  • anybody know what kind of car is at time 1:51 ?

  • I will found a town where everybody will be in the 50's no mater what year is, that would be a dream come true!

  • Sean Kingston - dumb love

    totally ruined this lol.

    It came on the radio and i suddenly thought of stand by me and just knew this song was in the film at some point, im only 16 so couldnt quite remember but yeh.

    Nothing beats the original!

    I wish people would credit oldies like these because now all my friends are like "ahh sean kingston has this awesome new song out itl be number one" im like

    "sorry your like 40 odd years late!"

    God i wish i was born in a different generation lol.

  • @DLowSupport Sean Kindston actually did a really good cover. It's very upbeat and very modern. I agree, kids shouldnt be as dumb as to give all the credit to Kingston, but thats besides the point. This is a very good song.

  • Come and Go With me to the Penitentiary....

  • @luceknight I can't help but to sing those lyrics instead of the real ones... Much more entertaining!

  • Comment removed

  • I bought myself a 1959 Ford Fairlane.. Can't wait to get my license and cruise to this song.. ;)

  • reminds me of save by the bell...the 5 Aces! lol

  • @jixer009 im doing a project in my history of rock n roll class on the del vikings.... and in my presentation i put the youtube clip of the five aces in there! the first time i heard this song was on saved by the bell!!!!! lol

  • I really like the Beach Boys' cover of this song. But The Dell Vikings did a fantastic job writing it and playing it,

  • @TheBalladOfSgtPepper : I heard an acapella version of "Come Go With Me" on Pandora (internet radio) performed by the Tokens. It was outstandingly done.

  • @CapCapello I heard that, your right , it was superb, . . 

  • @CapCapello oh really? That's pretty cool,

  • @CapCapello the version they used on a saved by the bell episode was very well done

  • @TheBalladOfSgtPepper not doubting ur veracity but i never heard beach boys sing this

  • @TheBalladOfSgtPepper Beach Boys's version OK (and I'm a huge fan, saw Brian at a club in Providence, RI a year ago), but original much superior! And this live version outstanding!

  • @thutton67 DANG! You got to see him live, I'm jealous!

  • Cadillacs, Chevrolets, Buicks, Oldmobiles.... new cars just can´t keep up. Ever.

  • @NaughtyBastardIsh '55 Chevy Bel-Air=My Dream Car =)

  • @TheBalladOfSgtPepper Me too!!!!!!!

  • @TJCATLOVER NICE! :D

  • Classic stuff from a classic time.

    Nothing is better.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • all of the versions rock but sean kingston's version sucks

  • cool video cool cars good song

  • A song full of hope !!!

  • Aren't some of these lyrics in Sean Kingston's "Dumb Love"?

  • @SSBSfanboy dont you mean arent some of sean kingstons "dumb love" lyrics in this song?

  • @PandaDaiProductions Whatever, either one.

  • Where's my time machine? ... Wanna go back!

  • @justmusicandme

    Yeah! I wanna bring me back one of those old cars like that Buick Roadmaster Convertible at the end.

  • @justmusicandme i think you left it back in nursery school with all the other noobs

  • @justmusicandme well said..I agree 100percent.

  • Reminds me of Happy Days.

  • One of my favarate songs reminds me of joe vs volcano haha aren't quite sure this is the same version as the film or not but i like !!

  • I always said,that I was born to a wrong age....And music like this only confirm my opinion.

  • *0* great era

  • This ain't them. Disappointed

  • @PaTudie It's them.. It's just a live version ^_^

  • thanks to this article

    I.H.T. Op-Ed Contributor: Thanks for the Memories

    By ELLIOT SILBERBERG

    which brought me back .....

  • WOW! GREAT VID R&R Forever!

  • @kickdamonkey: Not only a hood ornament, a glamorous, swimsuit-wearing hood ornament, ha ha ha ha.

  • Between 1:24 and 1:26 is my dream job ha ha ha ha.

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 being a hood ornament?

  • luvit

    paula from australia

  • love the chopped merc

  • this seems to be a life version sounds very differently from the recod i am not sure the lead singer is the same as in the record thanks!!!

  • Love this song!

  • Those days have long since passed, and America along with them

  • @EVOB88 :......(  so true

  • Paul McCartney says that when he first saw John Lennon, John was singing this song. John didn't know the words and sang "Don't send me to penitentiary"

  • @JCFraser1027 john sang "come go with me, down to the penitentiary".

  • the movie "Christine" (and to a lesser extent "American Grafitti") really made me fall in love with 50's era cars and music.

  • a need a delorean 2 return 2 these days

  • it pisses me off that the 40s and 50s are gone forever. if i could go back, id fight in WW2 and soak in the greatest times in american history. it will never be the same, once 1970 hit, it was downhill from there

  • @backwoodsbamaboy92 hahaha that made my life a little bit more worth living.

    I'd do anything to be born in the early 40's to experience all of the 50's and 60's... too bad I was born 40 years to late and now I will never be a part of something as awesome as the 50's... I completely agree with everything you said. If only I could destroy all of technology so everyone was forced to be more like the people were in the 50's

  • @Beaglesock people actually had common sense back then, so in order for that to happen, we'd have 2 take away all the warning labels, gaurd rails, safety rails on the edge of cliffs and all that so the population would thin itself out. lol. one things for sure, everyone in the white house would be the first to go

  • @backwoodsbamaboy92 , yeah I agree with the White House part, LOL. But the cars alone want to make me go back, you could actually tell one from the other and they were all US Steel no plastic eccept maybe the tail lights and minor accesories and best of all they were ALL made in the USA! You might see a VW once in a while, but Detroit Steel was KING! And the music, Rock-A-Billy & Rock-N-Roll it had to be awesome! Nice to dream...

  • @Beaglesock ... TYPE: "1959: Lost Coastlines" in YT .... to see my vid about TV series im creating ... enjoy :)

  • @backwoodsbamaboy92 ....TYPE: "1959: Lost Coastlines" in YT .... to see my vid about TV series im creating ... enjoy :)

  • I have a car just like the first one and i saw alot of these cars when me and my fam went to dollywood I LOVE THIS MUSIC

  • 120% steel and class is what you are seeing here folks.

  • Wait a minute! That's not Zach's voice.......These guys definitely ripped this off the Five Aces!

  • come tina darling, come into my heart

  • Did anyone notice that Tucker at 0:51? Those are cool cars. I've seen one around my area before.

  • @presidentbren Yeah those are awesome cars, I think they had helicopter engines in them and were the safest car you could buy in the 50s.

  • @TheImpalas1959 Well, actually they only made 50 of them in 1948 before the SEC shut down the company. But I would love to have one or even ride in one.

  • i was born in the wrong era man i should of been born in the 50's and i was born in 1998

  • been humming this song in my head since i first heard it years and years ago as a small child...classic tune

  • Why is it that old music from the 50's 60's and 70's is so much better than music today?

  • @ninman58 Greed. The 80's started the trend of showing off your image, using cheap, electronic instruments, plus promoting to the point where tour money is the most important. The 80's did have some decent music however, but it just kept on getting worse and worse to the point that pop music may be moving underground.

  • I was 12 when this song first came out....... I didn't know how good I had it back then, none of us did...

    Norman Wright was a great singer and I remember him well. RIP my friend, Thanks for the memories.

    Thanks for posting it "CapCapello".....

  • This is a different cut of the song than the popular version!

  • Never heard this version before. Great!! The cars are also awesome

  • I like the cars here I got 4 old ones and I'll still think till the day that I die that these are se of the gest vehicles ever built.

  • everything back in the 50's and 60's were built better back then. people were smarter and made things built to last not to replace.

  • This is NOT their original version! It's a fair takeoff on it.

  • can you imagine the work that goes into wash and waxingthese things? boy no wonder guys would have a fit if you leaned or sat on their car.

    I appologize on behalf of all the kids and teenagers who ever sat or leaned on any of these cars from the past. please accept our apologieslol :))

  • damn i love those old cars )O_O

  • One of my favorite Del Vikings song =D
