New way to listen to old music
Click on this link, and find one or two songs you know, that I did not include in this diary, and put them in your comment.
I saw many titles that were familiar, but I chose what I chose: you can add, whatever you like, in the comments.
Here is the link:

Number 1:
Wow.
Usually, when I look up these videos, I only play a few seconds of it, pause it, copy and paste.
This one, I listened, all the way through.
I never saw the movie, but I certainly remembered the song. That song was truly an icon of the sixties. I suppose the movie was, as well, from the scenes I saw in this video. Such striking beauty, of the blonde actress, Dorothy McGuire, and the blue eyed actor, Richard Egan.
I looked up the movie, on Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/…
The plot sounds truly interesting. I may watch the movie, some day. Bucket list.
Number 2:
This song sounds truly nice, especially the low notes. I just have to ignore the story in the lyrics. I never tried to pull a woman away from some other man. That idea creeps me out. She can do what she wants. Let the woman decide.
Number 3:
Hey, that’s a great one! The story in the lyrics barely breaks through to my mind, in this one. The sound of the music, the harmonizing, takes me away. I turned to volume up, for this one. Solid.
Number 4:
Alright, number 4, in 1960, was Running Bear, by Johnny Preston.
I am a little afraid that posting that video, here at Daily Kos, would get me banned.
It is insulting to Native Americans, seems to me.
You can look it up on YouTube, yourself, and listen to some of it, to see what I mean.
Number 5:
I truly hate that song.
I know, “bigjac, don’t take it so seriously. It’s just a song.”
But, we are supposed to get into the plot of these things, so, no, it’s not just a song.
There were a few songs like this, on the charts, around that time, about teenagers getting killed, usually in car crashes. Someone coined the term, “splatter platters.”
Number 6:
Ahhh, truly nice. Smooth, easy on the ear, easy on the mood. This song is very similar to Crazy, by Patsy Cline. MMmmm.
Number 7:
Such a classic. Never gets old. Bossa Nova style.
Number 8:
Fun, silly, doo wop, high notes.
Fun.
Number 9:
genius.com/…
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Calm down, Elvis. Calm down.
Number 10:
That was a basic song of the early sixties. Basic. Gotta do the twist.
Now, for my choices, from further down the list.
Number 13:
I listened to that one, all the way through, twice.
Seems like folk music, not rock, and a sad song, and I do not like sad songs, but, this one, has such nice harmonies, is so smooth. I like it.
Number 15:
The story is very corny, but the whole wild west theme, and the guitar music, and the catchy tune, makes it a classic.
Number 16:
Very silly novelty song.
There was a comic strip, back in those days, called, Alley-Oop.
Number 19:
Fun, sexy, silly.
Number 20:
Roy Orbison certainly recorded some of the best classic, doo wop, rock and roll.
Number 25:
I had to listen to that one, all the way through.
If you simply want to hear great guitar, with drums to back it up, this is your chill.
Number 50:
That melody, is simply one of my favorites. Nice.
Number 58:
Such a mellow song, such nice harmonies.
Number 78:
Number 78?
Why, oh why, was that song rated so low?
That song is the best song, in this music diary, seems to me.
Man.
Number 80:
Basic teenage love song.
Nice.
Number 87:
The lyrics paint a moving picture, that is so pretty and sexy.
Number 88:
I chose to listen to this one, because I certainly remembered Annette Funicello, and I was curious about the song.
I do not recall that I ever heard the song before, but it certainly is pretty.
Number 91:
Another basic song of the sixties, seems to me.
Number 97:
None of us puts money as number 97, on our list of daily priorities. We need the money.
Nice song. Correct priorities.
Alright, remember, you can look at the list yourself, and add anything you like, in your comment.
Hugs.
