[LcReAtIvO]

just watched "stand by me" ;-)

[Paycheck125]

People who deliberately dislike videos are dumb dumb dumb dumb, dumb be-dooby, dumb dumb dumb dumb, dumb be-dooby, dumb dumb dumb dumb, dumb be-dooby dumb, wah wah wah waaaaaaah.

[racingposh]

rock and roll rules - long live ROCK AND ROLL

[XxTommyPx]

My favourite type of music is dubstep, but this is still one of my favourite songs!

[louisgeorge]

I remember Tom Hanks dancing to this in Joe vs the volcanoe

[916jrod]

One person went to hell...

[thelegendarylord]

I use to be in a choir and we sang this.

[Vietpongcorn]

I cant believe one person would dislike this music.;...

Probably a screamo fag.

[microwaveplasma]

my friend and i were making a "commercial" for Simply Lemonade in our class last year. we were trying to find background music. guess what music i used for it!!!!

[RocknBluesPollution]

I'm a fetus and listen to this.

[Vietpongcorn]

@RocknBluesPollution im the pope and i listen to this.

[Minalunemauve]

Where can I get the picture from the 1:10 minute? the one with the couple dancing? I loved it soo much!

[charly2setter]

Ahh it took me FOREVERR to find this song! D: I finallyy found it... and it was soo worth it! Nothing like listening to oldies<3

[lmr1016]

i was never born but i listen to this

[ALegendarySanninJiri]

The Del-Vikings would be honoured to know that John LENNON sang this....=)

[kyleronson1]

I think it's beautiful that this song was written by an actual member of the Del-Vikings. So many of these types of songs were written by paid, successful songwriters, but the spirit in this one is totally loose and fun and free. So great!

[Kaneownzu]

I hate these types of lame jokes and i listen to this

[weegeeluv3r]

I'm chuck norris and I listen to this

[Floydian75]

im rihanna and i listen to this

[davedeathprt2]

i am deaf, and I listen to this.

[BSGbarberkris]

Im a Alien from another galaxy 4 million light years away...and I listen to this !

[hillcountryblue]

i dont exist and listen to this

[Missclapity]

I love this song!!!! it's old, but continues with all!!!!!

[costmo69]

1 person is listening to 50 cent right now.

[jameskwaka]

Thank God im alive to listen to this...I win!

[musicallyspeakings88]

I think the winner is "I'm a fetus and I listen to this".

[DirtyDowntownFilm]

I'm stillborn and I listen to this.

[estufasV]

OMG I'm 14 and I love this music = I hope somebody notices my comment and pats me on the back.

[diana46662]

omg whatz up with im __years old nd ilisten to this?!?!?! nobody cares yuh dum @#$%

[inukirby992]

@diana46662 Well young people like to express the fact that they're listening to music from many an era past. It amuses them that music that their parents and indeed grandparents once listened to is better than anything they have heard from their generation.

[SkilledCat88]

I am 7 months and I listen to this.

[BradWest96]

Dum-be-dooby-dum.

[Sportwagen58]

I'm dead, and listen to this.

[sam123451031]

im 8 months old and because of that fact i HAD to post a comment

[dirtyyharryy77]

I wonder what kind of band dynamic and pay imparity there was. Considering a band consisting of three african americans and two caucasians in the 1950's.

[karpfenaut]

i am 2 and i listen to this.

[uyy7uhy]

@karpfenaut well i'm a sperm and i listen to this.

[chris2011378]

im 13,so thumbs this up for no reason XD

[The8347135]

Paul McCartney sent me.. been watching Beatles Anthology. John's group (the Quarrymen) played this and Paul watched before he had even met John

[roguejulie]

One person never went anywhere with anyone.

[pianoguy101]

Sean Kingston?

[schuller51]

..., a GREAT little song !.., love it !

[redmancheyenne]

Thank you so much for this!!! This tune has been bouncing around my head for weeks now and my mind went blank when I tried to remember who did it.

Been driving me NUTS!!!

[whogivesacrapp25]

:)

[MrJaviel811]

i am 17 and i listen to this, so?

[TheDancingBoi]

I found this by saved by the bell

[warspite2]

One of those truely great old songs from the 50's. Even though this was way before my time, I certainly know this song as we all have heard it many of times. This is the stuff my Dad and Mom used to dance to. They just don't have this kind of music anymore, the songs that stand the test of time. I think that all stopped after the 80's. Many people consider the 80's the last of the best music. Of course there are still some good ones today here and there just nothing super original like this.

[girldatsfun]

i searched hours. for the name of this song because i totally heard it when my cousin was playing raving rabbids. I FOUND YOU.

[st112570]

@girldatsfun

THAT'S WHERE I HEARD IT

And I fell in love with it.

[heheherb420]

only one dislike



[B4BoomersBlockBoy7]

Sounds like " Birdland Dance " music to me ! Listen to that Sax... you never hear the sax in today's songs !

[tinufan]

How could any classic rock 'n' roll fan dislike this? (Yes, there's actually one thumbs-down rating.) For shame.

[jejesdad]

An interracial group in the 50's???? wow. I can't lie, the 1st time I heard this song was on Saved By The Bell.

[WSenator1]

@jejesdad - I think the DelVikings were the first interracial group to have a hit record.

[jfktwo]

Oh the wonderful memories of my senior year in high school. Love this song so much.

[siitrom]

This is probably one of the best songs ever.....

[ILoveChrisChambers]

Stand By Me ! :) <3

[blondie87ish]

great songs like this make me feel like i was born in the wrong decade. why are the songs these days such crap?

[StrangePuppyPam]

Recorded in 1957 (the year I was born) it is the very first song that I'm told I moved my head in time to!

[frijolero01]

Jesus, I envy those who grew up during this time. I'm 28 and music from the 50's and 60's is by far, the best ever.

[deaddoc]

@frijolero01 I was born in '52 and I remember all this and of course, was right there in California in the '60s.  But you can enjoy it now too. Enjoy it like we still do, you are welcomed.

[hyunlynn]

A dear friend played with this group. Rest in peace Charlie .

[bon1042]

yes, 1955 thru 1957... magical ! Tho the only man I ever loved appeared as a dream in the winter of early 1959.

[oxamanda93xo]

yes this is what i call music

[devildriverlambofgod]

@oxamanda93xo I love acapella, my grandpa and dad listen to this stuff. I love how it's passed to me. Won't let my kid fall into this mainstream "music" if that's what you call it these days.

[Orangetree547]

Love this song! Always reminds me of the movie "Stand by Me"

[mindwarp666]

Love this song, I could listen to Doo-Wop all day and not get bored. I must have this track on half a dozen compilations!

Doo-Wop was the soundtrack to my degree, I'd put on the tunes while sitting in the study (ok, spare room!) knocking out essays and projects. The music never got in the way and helped me concentrate. I'm now going to search for Earth Angel!

[explodingknees1]

rabbids

[ZekesAwesum]

one of the most awesomest in all of time BTW im 14

[Wolfsky9]

I was 10 y/o, in 5th grade & we sang along & danced along to this all-time Masterpiece. This IS what Doo-Wop is all about. Wolfsky9, 64 y/o

[cookycraze]

tjis sounds like dumb love by sean knigston

[Zetton199198]

Finally, so this is the song they constantly play in "Rabbids Go Home".

[jocelynkaulitz]

The movie Stand by Me Brought me here (:

[LEON13858]

thank you stand by me.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

THIS SONG IS HISTORIC! When the Quarrymen first played, Lennon didnt remember all the words to this song, making up lyrics like come go with me down to the penitentiary' Paul was impressed by his creativity and on that day, the songwriting team met and the future Beatles formed.

[blackandwhite456]

when i heard the intermission thing of this at the disney world scifi dine in theater i was like its catchy i gotta have so THANK GOD FOR SHAZAM because i didnt have it then but went back last year and shazamed that junk

[cockroachcrusher]

Great this song is referred to as Rock And Roll.

Tired of all the great Rock And Roll songs of the 50's and 60's being referred to as "Doo-Wop." I'd like to fry the clown who, in the early 70's, started calling the great Rock and Roll songs "Doo-Wop". When these songs came out, they were called "Rock And Roll" and are Rock And Roll forever.

[Sheila6325]

@cockroachcrusher I could not agree more.

[TJCATLOVER]

This my favorite oldie, ever.!!!!!!!!!!

[lovepunkalways]

The best thing about Stand By Me is it's soundtrack. Definitely.

[TheOldschoollover]

Now this is music!

[v8marvin8v]

HAVE U GUYS HEARD THE SEAN KINGSTON RIP OFF OF THIS SONG ...TRYING TO MAKE A HIT OFF OF THIS SONG ...STUPID ASS

[ValiantSkyRider720]

Don't you just love 20th century music?

[Acteon346]

Never knew the name of this awsom piece, dom dom dom dom, jajajaja i love it thanks for the upload!

[Mimmisy123]

...continued...

What about all the good music? Our era has come up with some of the greatest songs, I'm glad to live where I am and I love our variety of music.

[RadioactiveBoar]

@Mimmisy123 Thank you. Like I used to be back when I was in middle school and first discovering good music (I wasn't into music much because I wasn't around it too often), people still believe that today includes nothing but "rap and death metal." Aside from them, people complain about pop. There is some great rock out, like The Trews, Black Stone Cherry, Silvertide. We just don't hear about it because they're not publicized nearly enough. Btw, this is one of my top favorite songs.

[WSenator1]

@Mimmisy123 - Great songs? Twenty-first century? Name some.

[11xzxzxz]

@WSenator1 No great songs this century. Rock & pop went into a tailspin when Aerosmith and Run DMC did Walk This Way allowing Rap to Rock to coexist until Rap ate Rock and spit out their liver. If only Rap had stuck to the guns Neil Young's Mr Soul aimed in 1968. I don't know any records from this past decade that would go in with my first 5000 favorites. Pop but good: Michele Branch and Santana "Game of Love" - fine video. MTV rewrites history as if Metal was good. Yeah BOC Transmaniacon mc.

[Mimmisy123]

Times change, and I'm glad they do. I'm tired of people saying that our era of music sucks. Well you know what, it doesn't, don't get me wrong, I love the 50's, in fact it's probably my favorite type of music. But why do you people say you want to live in these times, yeah great music but it also comes with the extreme racism and just everything that we had to learn over time. When you say this 21st century music sucks, are considering just the rap and nonsense noise music? ...continued...

[gottaluvkaty08]

Stand By Me!!!!!! great movie

[Rich915]

Hells bells...! I was 10 yeare old when this came out....Great tune.

[glaatklingler]

only 2;40 but enough time for a hot sax solo!

[amabilis77]

I can't think of a better song that evokes the 50's than this...kinda gives me a sense of nostalgia :(

[DominosDay]

will they ever make music again like they did in the 50's, cause that would be great! music of today sucks, but that's my opinion.

[pssywagn1325]

I always love this cute, little song

[malizek7]

love the song, and pictures, ahh i think life was better in 50's than now -_-

[Jellyfish60]

Nothing short of a masterpiece

[BriBri897]

listening to this makes me sad cos no one is ever going to make anything like this music again. </3

[GirLfrOmLiverpOoL]

when Paul McCartney saw John Lennon for the first time in 1957, Lennon was performing this song with his band the Quarrymen, according to McCartney's recollection in the Beatles Anthology, Lennon, who didn't recall much of the song's lyrics, inserted lyrics from blues songs including the line, "Down, down down to the penitentiary."

[ZimonesCafe]

I'm 12 and I was humming this song and my dad said, "What's that?". So I punched it up on YouTube for him. He was so surprised and said, "That's the first record I ever purchased!" He couldn't believe that was the song in my head. He says I could have won a lot of money off him if I had made him try and guess the song. xD

[xDEALLiiEx]

fucking love this song!

stand by me i got it from

love you loads riverx

[lidiot36]

nice sax solo!!!!

[hesp666]

Brings me back to 1957, a simpler time.

[breadstick94]

there was NOTHING like the 50's when it comes to music

[Airbornerock]

I wish life was back in the 60's, no computers. computers ruin everyones life.

[kicked123456]

@Airbornerock the irony here is hilarious

[smagisa]

I was not yet born but it was play on the movie "Growing Up"

[jm818809]

This was the best of times in America. now it's all fucked up

[ranmae57]

@jm818809 

[3OH3fann11]

i hope someday 50s style and music would come back into style, but the closest thing u can get to is old 50 diners and dressing up for halloween

[schuller51]

Real nostalgia., brilliant song " happy days "

[CssFreakification]

its nice!

[stalzz]

Simply one of the greatest tunes EVER!

[gmanthebeast1]

i wish everyday i lived back in these times,fuck the 2000s,peopledont love each other anymore

[RandiSierra]

So adoreable! Dancing with myself...

[WSenator1]

This is the first rock song I remember hearing, when I was about 5 years old. After its time had passed on the charts, I kept hearing it in my head, but nowhere else. Then came the oldies movement - and I've been happy hearing it ever since. thanx!

[fuckingfernie]

man, this music is just great! it gives me ear-gasms lmao

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Back when times were simple, cars had style and music was great. Also, that was once upon a time when America had morals. When an Elvis Presley shaking his hips on stage caused a national uproar. Look at the garbage we got on stage now.

[Aggedor1959]

SOLID ol' Rock and ROLL, Bay-beeeeee!

Hip post, 74sodapop. Thanks!

[Idahoslim]

i m 27 years old and my freinds make fun of me for listening to this music.I think there all idiots this is what music should and always be

[Kitana2k85]

@Idahoslim u are wright !im 25 and i love this kind of music ,but my friends too !at the beginning they didnt like it,but now they go crazy with it!unbelievable

[costmo69]

@Idahoslim im 26 and im with you buddy. I dont listen to 50 cent or none of that as well.

[Pooleman96]

@Idahoslim Tell your friends they can suck it! Just because they think this music is "weird" doesn't mean they have the right to be assholes about it, seriously. And this music isn't weird at all. I'm 23 and I enjoy these 50's soda fountain tunes.

[loveblack]

I have been listening to music since 1954 and this song would be in my top 5 all time greatest hits. Bouncy, great harmonies, robust voices, and it always puts me in a good music. And who could not love that sax

[Sheila6325]

This is the single best music to dance to of them all. It has that faster (for the time) but kinda "Glide" type feeling to it. You could do all kinds of extra steps to it, and that was unusual for that time. Of course this was "Hand Dancing" not the separate dancing of today. You could spin to this music, be turned around, and oh the hips, how they swayed.

What wonderful memories.

I was listening to this in 1960 too, so it was even great after 3 years of constant playing. We all loved it .

[Hawkeye4500]

@Sheila6325 Not to mention its catchy as hell.

[babsinjrzy]

@Sheila6325 Yep Sheila, great to dance to! I'd like to be able to remember something to do the stroll to...

[Sheila6325]

@babsinjrzy How about The Diamonds - The Stroll (1957/58 Original) it's on youtube. Just love that one too.

Darn, every time I come in here, I feel 16 again. I still am, (in my brain) hehehe far cry from 63 huh?

[zzwhale]

yeah well i remember when i heard this song in the bronx and now i'm 65 and still love it .... kick ass rock and roll

[619426]

still brings back memories. even though im 19. still remember the good times i spent with my family when i was younger.

[619426]

i remember the first time i heard this song, i was 13. now im 19. its been a while since i listened to this type of music. and i listen to today's music too, hip hop and rock. but i dont think anything else can replace these old beautiful songs. they're irreplacable.

[txun45]

In 1957 I sang this in front of my 6th grade class & PTA meeting. Songs from my 'weening years' hold a special place in my heart and memory. Those of us lucky enough to have had the 50's experience when life was simple, rolls clearly defined, 'courting' sweet and full of innocent exploration, now share our stories with grandchildren barely able to comprehend such a time. Sigh. Thanks for the memories.

[flipflopping]

So again I ask, what happened to America? Bring back these days of old, when life was simple and pure. Listening to this music brings tears to the eyes and a flood of good memories. Thank you so much, 74sodapop.

[sarabbi2000]

Flipflopping - I'm with you - what happened to decency and the purity of love and affection?

[flipflopping]

Enter the degenerative culture, liberalism, destruction of America's core beliefs, and demonizing of all that was once held sacred by all of us...innocence quickly faded to persecution. 30 years ago, if you brought a Bible to school, you got extra credit, and if you brought condoms, you were sent home. Today, it's the opposite. Pregnant teens were once an embarrassment, now they are prom queens. Draw a picture of a gun, and you get suspended. Same with the Pledge of Allegiance...

[jimbuick]

@flipflopping Your first sentence is exactly what our parents said when they first heard this music. Now it's a symbol of innocenct times. times change.

[mocalsa]

@flipflopping  ......It's called 'DRUGS'......

[mocalsa]

@sarabbi2000 .....It's called 'DRUGS'......

[abaguy1]

This is great song, I really like it. Makes me wish I would of lived back in the 50's.

Maybe someday music can be good again like it once was.

[RedEliteFilms]

@abaguy1

Thats why we got those 50's styled diners :D

[scarface12347]

@abaguy1 doubt it

[brownle44]

@abaguy1 We can only hope that music will get better!

[ChidoDeLaSierra]

@abaguy1 Now wouldnt that be sweet if music was like this again :D

[flipflopping]

God, what happened to America?

[rayneofsilence]

Check out an earlier version by this group! Type "The Spidels" in the Youtube search bar. No offense to the Del Vikings :) Both groups have a sound of all their own, but I couldn't help falling in love with the Spidel's version. It's definitely worth a listen!

[comanche861]

i sure do wish i lived in these times.

[SpontaneousStar]

*A really nice catchy song =)*

[amichip]

Absolutely classic rock and roll!

[ImissedThe1950s]

Love it and so mad I missed this time period, they had the B E S T music, cars and clothes :)

[xxnurdxx]

best ever.

all the oldies are so great.

[ryanhiniker]

dude, I don't know if it can get much better than this. and I listen to Heavy Metal too. my playlists are slowly but surely filling up with 'oldies' like this.

THANKS FOR POSTING!!!

[languagedancer]

had to swing by again...this video is addicting!

[languagedancer]

It just does not get any better than this....I love the song and the video and as always, the information and insight that Pops provides is a real treat...5 stars mega shares and a favorite for sure

[djscanman]

This has always been one of favorite songs from the 50s.

[Antarblue]

Wow! A real classic! I actually remember from AM radio in the 50s! I was 7 years old in '57!*****
