Old Music

So, I'm listening to Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley by the Kingston Trio. It's very catchy, it's about a boy who killed a woman and is going to be hanged.
"Hang down your head Tom Dooley, hang down your head and cry. Hang down your head Tom Dooley, poor boy your bound to die.
I met her on the mountain. There I took her life. Met her on the mountain, stabbed her with my knife."
If you've never listened to you, you should.
50's music is so very different from ours nowadays and I really enjoy it.
Build Me Up Buttercup is also a good one if you need something catchy and poppy

It's relaxing to listen to listen to music from so long ago. It's as if they had no worries and nothing to care about except for theit music. Now it's as if people sing just for the money. But 50's music is very amazing quality stuff. No rap or anything of that sort.

If you ever need a break from life, just pop in some 50's music, and just relax. I'm going to list a few of my favorites.

Under the Boardwalk - (The Temptations)
Brown-eyed Girl - (The Temptations)
The Wanderer - (Not really sure)
The Twist - (Chubby Checkers)
Build Me Up Buttercup - (The Temptations)
Yakity Yak - (Chuck Berry)
Wake Up Little Susie - (Buddy Holly)
Rock Around the Clock - (Bill Haley & the Comets)

And those are only a few. There are so many amazing artists and songs with so many different meanings behind them.

Wake Up Little Susie is about a couple who fall asleep in the movie theater and fall asleep, they wake up late, she was supposed to be home by 10 and now they're worried about their reputations. (They were a big deal back then)
