A song from the 1950s that you like or means something to you.

As a kid in the early 70s, the 50s seemed like ancient history. I found it hard to believe that my parents had actually been alive way back then. After watching American Graffiti and Happy Days, I was just so fascinated with the whole era. This song was the theme music Happy Days used in the early seasons before switching to something that was less expensive to license. Rock Around the Clock was also the opening song for the movie, Blackboard Jungle
