Very enjoyable show today, although I imagine the fans of female
rockabilly artists, Jack Scott, and surf instrumentals were
disappointed. ?

Just can't get that 8 year old out of me sometimes.
29. GOT A LOT O’ LIVIN’ TO DO, Elvis Presley
Good number from his smash movie "Loving You" and memorable for the
scene where Elvis jumps down off stage singing this with a section of
the audience in full view---including his mother sitting in an aisle-row
seat

Here's the playlist:
46. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE, Harvey & The Moonglows
One of the very few Moonglows singles to appear here and sadly one of
their worst IMO. Memorable only for the part it plays in one of my
favorite movies---the great "A Bronx Tale"

I prefer the 1959 album version with the Jordanaires which was also
supposed to be used for the single, but somebody screwed up and they
pressed the 45 with the undubbed version with no background singers.
Hartford's oldies station played the version with the back-up vocals. It
was only in the '90s, when Rhino put out ROCK THIS TOWN: ROCKABILLY
HITS, VOL. 1, that I even knew the undubbed version existed.

I don't understand the hate for this record that exists in these parts.That said, my original choice was "Blue Velvet," but I needed to fill
four minutes of airtime at the end of my show. And "Blue Velvet" was too short. Hence the last-minute programming change.

in the 1950s *most* *middle-class* children did not know the F word
:-)
"Middle-class children were typically raised in environments where
such language was discouraged and often not heard in everyday
conversation, media, or public settings."

Are you crazy? Of course we knew it. It was written on the subway walls. We didn't *utter* it, but we certainly knew it.

DianeE, why do you, in general, dislike female rockabilly songs and
surf instrumentals?

Are *you* crazy? :) Only the following locations had subways in the
1950s: NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Rochester, Cleveland,
Newark. In the 1950s, California did not have any subway systems.
Only 10-11% of the US population lived in these 7 cities, and not
every child would have used the subway.
