[rkmugen]

Mafia 2 brought me here, in a Smith Thunderbolt, no less. Not ashamed of it either!

[NewWaveTH]

Earl (speedo) Carol, the lead singer is still around.

The 50's music is the best, it will never die.

"They called him the Jimmy the Gent"

[dbj1941]

One of my best friends named his dog Speedo after this song came out. What a great time to be in high school.

This is a classic. One of the ten most fun songs ever recorded. Paul Simon thought so. He used to quote it.

[Anonymous1226]

It was when I met the world. It was when I first met Jimmy Conway.

[tamponrockets]

It's 11 PM and this song just makes me wanna get up and dance. This song never gets old! <3

[RyanKBoman]

This song always reminds me of The Temptations movie, when Otis realizes he wants to become a singer.

[rainbirdeleven]

[ducatidragon916]

Bom Bah Diggity, Bom Bah Diggity....

[Fullmetaldroogie]

@gopackersful the DVD is in my collection. A friend of mine had a small part in it at the start.

[SylencedMajority]

Goodfellas soundrack should have included this track, it embodies the era depicted in that part of the film, his early years, up and coming in the mafia. I agree, this is a high quality upload, thanks for offering this track to us all!

[bmgs5]

"Goodfellas" all day!!! 

[traintogirlstown]

that's history!

[joeylee666]

GOODFELLAS!!!!! ;)

[Fullmetaldroogie]

"Jimmy , I'd like to introduce you to the kid Hendry"

[ac82385]

@Fullmetaldroogie its when Henry met the world

[drfugawe]

This was undoubtedly the most personally powerful song of my teens -to me at least- I remember it going thru my head every day for what seems like years. Not that I didn't know the other music of the times, I'd average radio listening for maybe 10 hours a day. And still, this was the song which haunted my idle mind. And still I love it.

[jerrytwhtn9]

I'm a day or two late...but Happy Birthday Mr. Earl........I love this song!!!

[bzw88]

[Joshwilliams7]

Great song. I love the 50s.

[TheSpo69]

I play in a metal band, but this was to me the fastest tune i ever heard as a kid when my dad (a 50's era kid) would crank this at top volume. Thank you for the post!

[sugarfoot59]
