If Mrs. Calabash were here I'd play this song just for her ....

Ok, so I lied. It's from the 40s music scene.

The Royal Teens biggest hit, "Short Shorts" enters the US record charts on 3rd February 1958 on its way to number 3.
The song was originally an instrumental warm up number to which the group added silly lyrics.
The tune was recorded in about twenty minutes of left over studio time and released after a record label executive took a liking to it.

Vaughn Monroe's "Sound Off" is always a favourite on a fifties selection.

".......Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - Jerry Lee Lewis 1957 (Big Maybelle cover)........"
I lie here dying in the desert heat
With swollen tongue and blistered feet.
Essential tremors (shakin') unfettered by the sun
That's determined to roast me until I'm done,
One day they will find me here all alone
By the sound of my shakin' rattlin' my bones.

The original to this song was recorded in 1917 by Samuel Ash.
