What's your favorite song from 1955?

[red dog 1]

Sixteen Tons -Tennessee Ernie Ford

[Warpy]

1. The one that blew all the bland 50s stuff out of the water, of course

[MiltonBrown]

4. Agree

Recorded in 54 but a big hit after inclusion in the 1955 movie 'Blackboard Jungle'

6. Great pick!

One of the very first "rock & roll" songs...(along with "Rocket 88&quot

[rzemanfl]

2. Wore that record out. n/t

[Glorfindel]

3. I was ten years old. I thought "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" was the greatest song ever

I still love it!

8. I loved that song too

There was a "warped" version of that song that went around playgrounds & schoolyards:

Born on a mountain top in Beverly Hills
Lived on gin & vitamin pills
Kilt his sister when he was only three
Spent his life in the penitentiary
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

(I loved the TV show too)
