sorry children but - Bill Haley ripped off Little Richard's song, we did not like it in the day and we still don't like it now - wrong!! go find Little Richard's version.
@dazzaboy1966 It would be quite a trade-off in terms of technology. If you were say 17 in 1956, you wouldn't get calculators/microwave ovens until you were in your 30s, computers/home video/ATMs/cable TV until you were in your 40s, Internet/cellphones until your 50s, and social media/DVDs until you were in your 60s.
I die a little every time i think about how Good things used to be, and what they are now, Everyone used to be able to dance like that in the good days, now only a small handful of people have the self esteem to learn to dance like that, Now they do "the stankey leg" or "soulja boy" or "walk it out" or pretty much just dry hump on the dance floor...CLASSSSY...
Lumotaku...So much better than what came afterwards? You must not have grown up on the East Coast....It only got better....And we're still going strong....
Nowadays everyone just relies on electric prepared music and the chemical effects of alcohol/drugs to go and party for them. Are we ever going to get back to living again?!?!

Don't see any obeese teens here. They come from a time when you either walked everywhere you went or you rode your bicycle, or danced like this. Thanks to you tube that we can "re-live" moments like these...
In case anyone is interested, they're doing a dance called Lindy Hop. Lots of people still do it! Just search "Lindy Hop" and you'll find lots of examples.

WOW! This takes me back! The guy in the glasses could be me - white sports coat included! I used to run a record request show in the RAF at Ruislip, and arranged 'hops' in the NAAFI in the fifties!
i wish all school dances were like this!!! People would seriously have fun! This is what music is about i wish i was born during this time i bet those ppl really had olot of fun dancing like that !=-]
Man i wish they did this at school dances also but sadly they at dances they are grinding this look so much fun i wish i was around that time but sadly i am in the modern world
THANKYOU JESUS...now THAT is what we call....DANCING......WOW....I remember so well going to these ORIGINAL SOCK HOPS with my big sister and her and I would get boogeying and Jitterbugging...and they'd all form a circle around us and ROOT us on...I was the only little kid brother there...amongst all the highschool kids my big sisters and Big brother went....Our 15 Minutes of FAME....wow...HOG HEAVEN back in the day...Loved it....GOD BLESS All...KEN, Orlando, Fl...USA, Big Sis still lives Florida
me imagino que ahora todo esto al a gente le parece ridicula, esa manera de bailiar y de vestir, aaaaaaaa q tiempos a quellos eh, todavia me acuerdo cuando se hunidio el titanic......
Ameeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii quem me dera dançar desse jeito... nessa época eles dançavam muito melhor que o povo de hoje!!!!!!!! só que tem que ter cuidado pra não cair né.......... rsrsrsrsrsrsrs
