This explains a lot about my life and need for expensive medication and extensive psychotherapy. This was #1 Song when I was born and may have been playing in hospital.
Thumbs up if you found this video even the least bit funny.
I was looking up this song on youtube and I happen to click on the link to this video. At first I was like WTF?????!!!!!! 0_0 But them I started laughing my ass off. XD
back then whites wouldn't listen to music sang from blacks,so they always stole one of there music and made a white version of it. Im gonna break the "Like" and "Dislike this garbage<333
@FlynTeaBag, I wasn't born in the fifties, in fact I was born in 1990, so I need help from the older folks here, I don't get how music from blacks weren't listened to by whites because when ever I see black girl bands's performances, the audience are primarily white. For instance the Ronettes, the Dixie Cups, and the Crystals. Is that to say that black men were received differently in the music industry then were black women?
@cumensu It could be because the black versions also sound different than the "white" versions of the songs. Just compare this one by the Crew cuts with this version, you can hear it instantly. Just like for example you maybe wouldn't like a song by, let's say Coldplay, if it was performed by some guy with a heavy black/ghetto accent. And vica versa, not a lot of people would listen to a 50 Cent song if its performed by some funny sounding white rapper. It's all about how well something fits.
JohnnyBoy501, Are you insinuating that the black male's versions did not sound refined? Are also insinuating that the white singers were better singers? Something about what you said rubs me the wrong way and is clearly ignorant of the facts. In this world you have to be careful who you learn from.
The Chords version is way WAY better. The black people"Black musicians" have more doo wop spirit, more tenor voice high pitch low pitch just more magic. They'd started it all because blacks were not played on the radio in those days...too bad, they deserved the credit. "And as for Whites they were only picking up after the Blacks.....COPY!"
@PotatoMasher1234 Don't forget the racism, sexism, the wife beating, the Klan meetings.... women didn't have much rights. I love the 50's but stuff like that, makes me glad i'm in the modern era. I love the music, the simpler times, but i could do without the rest.
@Jgjekaj So you're telling me we still have White and Black drinking fountains, Restraunts, blacks are not allowed to sit in the front of the bus? and back then it was a man's world, no women were allowed to be CEO or whatever in a business. So what you're saying if you caught a black person drinking out of a "Whites Only" water fountain, you'd call the police so they could arrest them and beat them or kill em today?
@JeffroTV so you're telling me that racism still doesnt exit today? that racial profiling still doesnt happen just cause segregation was eliminated doesnt mean people aren't treated unfairly still. How many woman are CEO's today? they have to choose between a job and having a family. no company will want their CEO to be on maternity leave. and just cause blacks arent segregated anymore...what about middle easteners being seen as crazy radicals and questioned at any given point and attacked
I find they should play music likes this and from the 30's and 40's on the radio. I don't mean like on Sirius’s 40s on 4 or 50 on 5 but on the general radio waves and get rid of this new music that is nothing but garbage.
Yes I must say that 50's pop music was the BEST music every... you could actually relate to the songs and could understand not only the words but also the feelings!!
Yes, it was the racism of the era. I lived in Florida 56-58 and segregation was full on - public pools, buses, housing. Music was the same way. Black music was actually known as "race music" and was frowned upon. Many R&B songs had to be "reprocessed" with the sort of arrangement heard in this version that while very good is not the same as "The Chords" version which was "earthier".
the chords are way better thought out in this version, the Chords had top heavy chords, where as the version that you have posted on has deeper rooted chords. this is why you have 3 negatives beside your post
Love This SOng, I first heard it in General Music last year.But then i heard it today and im like WHOA! love this song. Its good to hear differntly then what a normal 13 year old listends to. (:
Did you actually write that, or was someone messing with your account? You really shouldn't be here, you need to be doing something useful for society like being a chlorine checker, or a radioactivity test subject.
It was just the times. This was still when R&B and black music was "race music", and white musicians covered black musicians music which was more successful.
Like Pat Boone covering Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti". Little Richard's was better, but Pat Boone's went to #1 on the charts and outsold Richard's.
@sdmccoy1406 : Well, in today's "politically corrected" crap world, where it has become the norm to bash "white" people at every turn, because it shows how "in" you are with the down trodden, I guess, you would be confused by The Crew Cuts version. It was popular because of it's "sound" and because the masses enjoyed that particular "sound". For the last 40 years, The Chords version has been freely played over the radio and yet, The Crew Cuts version is still the most popular version.
@sdmccoy1406 Racism, I'm not trying to be a Jackass, its ligitly because they were White and the Chords were black. They couln't except such a good song coming from African Americans.
I'm 12 years old and all the stories i've heard about " the happy days" and wish i could have grovn up in that erra. This song is the best and very catchey
i wish i culd go back and live at this time...in fact whoever has seen forest gump i wish i had lived in his life time period between the war and the 60s and 70s and this music when there were no worries
No worries? How about the threat of a nuclear bomb when they were getting kids to practice hiding under their desks at school? How about the Vietnam War? ...the oil crisis, the cuban missile crisis, among many other grave dangers during that time..
well, how about Iraq war, WWT, oil crisis, global recession ( comparable by some to 30s depression), rise in drug addictions/wars, overall world military instability, aids, all kinds of strange 'seem-to-be-lab-created' flues of sorts, constant recalls b/c of food contamination, artificial sweeteners/diet/who-knows-what food, organic/not-organic produce issues, environmental problems... - feel free to continue. +overall cynical immoral mentality, reflected in what they call today 'music'
The music of the fifties and sixties was amazing! I just don't like to hear that times were better then, because they weren't. How about separate water fountains for blacks and us whites? That is evil and the height of ignorance. How about them not playing black artists on tv..huh?. How about women having to quit their jobs when they got pregnant?!? How about the progress we have made in the field of medicine and people living MUCH longer now after diagnosis. I could go on and on.
Will Rogers, a folk comedian from the 30's, is attributed to having said, "Show me a man (person in today speak) who says civilization is advancing and I'll show you an egotist."
I totally agree ( that's why I stopped replying to comments to avoid engaging in such meaningless exchanges;-)). So, let's all agree!( although, precisely because the world is as you said, such total agreement unlikely to happen;-)).

well, how about Iraq war, WWT, oil crisis, global recession ( comparable by some to 30s depression), rise in drug addictions/wars, overall world military instability, aids, all kinds of strange 'seem-to-be-lab-created' flues of sorts, constant recalls b/c of food contamination, artificial sweeteners/diet/who-knows-what food, organic/not-organic produce issues, environmental problems... - feel free to continue. +overall cynical immoral mentality, reflected in what they call today 'music'

The music of the fifties and sixties was amazing! I just don't like to hear that times were better then, because they weren't. How about separate water fountains for blacks and us whites? That is evil and the height of ignorance. How about them not playing black artists on tv..huh?. How about women having to quit their jobs when they got pregnant?!? How about the progress we have made in the field of medicine and people living MUCH longer now after diagnosis. I could go on and on.

Will Rogers, a folk comedian from the 30's, is attributed to having said, "Show me a man (person in today speak) who says civilization is advancing and I'll show you an egotist."

queenlaurie...Aaaah...shut up...
Now, white guys are discriminated against...and that is called progress...
Look, toots, if it weren't for white dudes...we would still be jungle here in the USA and would be speaking British English...
I say...many things were better 50 years ago...so put that in your pipe and smoke it...

How about we all agree that the world sucks. Always has, always will.

I totally agree ( that's why I stopped replying to comments to avoid engaging in such meaningless exchanges;-)). So, let's all agree!( although, precisely because the world is as you said, such total agreement unlikely to happen;-)).
