[12bobsmith]

I just love the 50s. So classy.

[Benchiladas]

do you know if these are in the public domain?

[Yasoofeus]

Honeyyy, I'm hoooome

[Johnwells10]

How rare are Seeburg background music records?

[ilfato]

Anyone knows if I can or how I can use this tune for a commercial video work?

[TheDinoist]

Thank you, som much! I used it for my project and my teacher LOVED it! :D

Thanks again!

[drkdragon01]

Amazing! I hope you don't mind if I use this for a school project. It'll be a PSA video explaining nuclear energy.

[drh4683]

@drkdragon01 No problem. I think its great that people want to use these tunes for special projects.

[djpatrickbo]

@drh4683 hi - are there any rights on it - would need such music for a special video for a customer. but it will be 2 month in the internet. so any chance to use it without problems??

cheers

[drh4683]

@djpatrickbo Nope, not a problem at all.

This reminds me of the music they would play before the movies started at the drive-in.

[mrmjb1960]

The fact these 7" ran at 16 2/3 RPM and carried 40 Songs each side,these were to me The Super-Long Players of their day!

[RetroToledo]

@mrmjb1960 Shame it didn't became a standard (though I'm sure more care would have to be taken into account on your end not to ruin these discs outside normal play).

[mattratt512]

this reminds me of the 50's and 60's.

[rkmugen]

You know what's sad ('depressing-sad', not 'pathetic-sad')? Even cartoons used to have this kind of music... you know, back when it was all hand-drawn with pencil and paper. Cartoons today... *shudders*.

I think this piece serves as a very accurate reminder of the good, clean, and bright times and beautiful aspirations that America (and to some extent, Europe) has essentially lost. So, thank you for uploading this!

[RetroToledo]

@rkmugen I feel your pain. I wish I could go back to this time myself when it all seemed so innocent yet fun seeing and hearing this stuff all over.

[musicom67]

Very reminiscent of the Capitol Hi-Q Production Music Library - this cut may have come from that collection... Sounds like a Hormel or a Loose composition?

[CineGraphic]

Yes, and housewives everywhere love the new flavor of insta-brite toothpaste.

Dingy teeth are a thing of the past, just look at that gleaming smile now!

[59phonebone]

Thanks for posting this, it was so cool I used it in one of my projects.

[59phonebone]

Come and drive the new 1959 Oldsmobile today!

[kaitlinmcgoldrick]

I just love listening to this! it is amazing :) I wish life was back in the days of this music

[wiltingrose2]

haha it makes me imagine the house wife and the oven goes DING and the kids are running around and theyre like TV DINNERS ROAR!

[indytractors]

Just found this video while looking for an avenue(s) to dispose of the several Seeburg records (blac, blue & red vinyl) I discovered in closing an estate. Great stuff!!

[hoesey]

Hey Billy, come on downstairs! Daddy just bought a new Studebaker and we're all going to the Dairy Queen. Banana splits and root beer for every one.

[2agray]

LOL! I was just saying in another video it reminded me of old films in school....."Jane is a nice girl from Johnson street....her mother is a housewife and her father works at the local grocery." They turn and wave at the camera. These are great! I'm sure there would be a market for these if they were put on CD. Every department store had music like this. Such wonderful memories.

[TwinMillMC]

@hoesey Swell mom! I'll be right down!

[RetroToledo]

@hoesey I always get the "Frosty Chocolate Milkshakes" thought in mind when this too!

[CanadaguyRudey]

As the man ofthe house works... his wife knows to get his supper, cigar and paper ready for his arrival home

[CadillacL]

This type music brings back memories of walking through the mall, when the music was fun to listen to.

[fromthesidelines]

This is a production music "cue", often heard in radio and TV commercials and programs in the late '50s, programmed into Seeburg's music library (another one was used on "THE SANDY BECKER SHOW" on New York's WABD in 1956-'57) . I wish I knew what this one was, though....

[stumpdonut23]

this is my new feel-good song

[CanadaguyRudey]

Hey noahf67

I want that CD.

I played this for some friends and they loved it.

[gageoninja]

@harpo103 lol love it!

[goodshiite]

I feel... like... SHOPPING!

[dudemantwo]

"A sportsman...is someone who always plays by the rules...and is kind and curteous to his fellow players...

He always washes his hands after athletic activity...and is well groomed...

An athlete...never has a bad day on the court or field...fair play is part of the American spirit... "

[dudemantwo]

What is the name of this tune?

[dudemantwo]

Is this the normal speed for this song?

Are the players playing this fast?

[jeromebamley]

What an incredibly light and breezy instrumental. lol

I can just picture my grandmother browsing at some old department store while this kind of music played in the background.

[jenniiex0]

Is there anyway to get permission to use this track for a short film project for a high school media class? Thank you!

[drh4683]

Sure, not a problem. What is your project about? We had to read the book "catcher in the rye" when I was a junior. For extra credit, our whole junior class made a movie called "catcher in the rye" (which took place in the mid 50's) I think we did a good job too (us A/V nerds made it possible) and I was in charge of picking out the 50's music and vintage props. The music used was stuff similar to this. We tried to make it look like a real 50's movie, edited it and all. It was pretty cool.

[NicktheBarber31]

yes i was looking for corny 50's/60's background music for a film project and i was wondering if i could use this.

[hussi434]

what would u recommend for a 1960s newscast?!?!?!?!?

[meestercranky]

this music was on every 1960s newscast I remember as a kid.

[cstylewit1]

@jenniiex0 wow,just use it,ud only hafta worry if it hit cinemas,wake up,you dont have to ask to sample,it a human right,and even IF they caught you and started some nonsense,tell m"can you prove i didnt make this with may progs and instrument,then show m some equipment,stop worryin about copywrite,its a joke

[yvesfrancois]

in 1969 this was still the music you heard most in supermarkets and many work places, even most fm stations. i remember this kind of music, and feel that there are psychological reasons why this kind of music was chosen. the world has changed a LOT since then, some for the better some for the worse, personally, i miss this sort of sound, it, like all other music's i like (or dislike) has its place, memories of my childhood for certain (i do not remember rock being omnipresent until the mid 70's)

[BrooklynMouse]

This music sounded a lot like Tutti Camarata to me and this record was played at 16 RPM and it cannot be played on my GE Wildcat, because it has three speeds instead of four.

[jimrockford78]

I love this music,it always added a surreal touch to shopping,creating a carefree ethereal sonic landscape that seem to come from some far off planet.

A lot of these tunes were from production music librarys.

Could you tell me what series and number this one is in the seeburg library?

[noahf67]

A CD full of this stuff sits in my 60's retro table radio & plays when I'm entertaining.

Turns a date into a real far-out David Lynch scene...I never quite get to that second date, though.....

[LHUPA]

It's very stunning! I know these 16 RPM for the Seeburg 1000 players owned by shoping centers and jukebox owners. It's very a special invention!

[Trance88]

The tune sounds like something from 1959. I've always wondered how they played background music before things like muzak service. I was thinking that someone had to go and change out the LP every 20 to 30 minutes.

[retrochad]

This music sounds a lot like the kind of background music used on educational films of the 1950's. The RCA record player really handles the 16 speed well.
