YOU HAVE TO MOVE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Bill Haley And His Comets Shake, Rattle and Roll REACTION 

Wait. Are you saying that I am older than Rock and Roll? Geee whiz!

@@paulr.3220 If you were born before 1954, like I was, yes. 😁

I've always wondered why Bill Haley's songs sounded crisper than some songs in the 60s and 70s. What kind of magic equipment are they using in the studio?

@@One.Zero.One101 That's a good question. I don't know how they recorded back then, but I'm guessing they didn't record on different tracks first and then mix them together. At first I was thinking maybe they "remastered" this one, but I worked in radio for a few years, and it always sounded this good, and that was on tape by that point.

I resemble that remark!

Originally by Joe Barry, a Cajun who was often mistook for Fats Domino with his song "I'm a Fool to Care"

After a while, crocodile!

That expression and song always reminds us of our South American exchange student we hosted for an entire school year (12th grade) in the '80s. She had studied English for five years in school as a prerequisite for applying to come to the US as an exchange student, but she told use later that until she came to us she had never been around a natural English speaker, let alone tried to hold a conversation with one. We speak so fast, not always in complete sentences, and use so much slang, contractions, idioms, pop culture references, sarcasm, etc. without even thinking about it. At first it was very difficult for her, made more so by the fact she arrived only about a week before the school year started. Talk about having to hit the ground running, or learning to swim by being thrown into the deep end of the pool. For a while, she came home from school every day with a lot of questions about things she had heard at school that made no literal sense no matter how much she used her little Spanish-English translator book in an effort to figure it out. One day probably during the first week she came home and with a puzzled look on her face and said, "Um... what means... 'See you lay-tor, alliga-tor?" Ah yes, that doesn't make literal sense at all, does it? Even just the "see you later" part sounds more like a statement of fact or even a threat rather than simply a casual farewell. But why did they call me an alligator? 😅 We explained it to her and for a moment her brow was still furrowed, then she suddenly "got" it, her face lit up, and she said "Ohhhh!" It became one of our running jokes, and for the rest of the school year she would often say it when going out the door. She would also sometimes purposely say it backwards as a sort of a self deprecating "I don't speak English very well" joke, "See you later, crocodile", or "After while, alligator." On the contrary, she was super bright and a straight A student the entire year. Within a few weeks she was becoming confident enough to leave her pocket translation book at home, and by Christmas break she sounded like any other American teen (well, the really bright, well spoken ones, anyway) with little to no accent at all. In retrospect, she said that midterm was around the time she made the leap to being able to think in English and she no longer had to do the exhausting extra steps of quickly translating both ways in her head while listening to or having a conversation with someone. It was amazing seeing someone in a very short period of time blossom into complete fluency in a foreign language. That simple, silly little idiom will always remind us of her. 🙂

Chubby Checker came a few years after Bill Haley in the UK. This was my generation and The Twist came after so many greats - Elvis, The Everley Brothers, etc etc etc. Might have been different in the USA. I remember being 15 years old and doing The Twist at Cromer Rollerdrome which turned into a dance hall on Friday or Saturday night.

And no mention of that earlier mistake. I don't think they read the comments yet. 😊

If it's not acknowledged. It didn't happen. 🤣

🤣

@@T-bone1950 They must have known right away.. They changed the caption to BS&T about 15 mins after.

@@JohnJackson-si5bz Quality seems quite low, no? (360P)

He was so talented.

❤That’s a GREAT IDEA!!! Occasionally, R&A need to have a “theme day” to their reactions and dress the part!!😊🎉

And an angora sweater!

Engineer boots.

Where is that?

I didn't know until 5+ years ago that Bill Haley lived in Salem, NJ early in his career. His daughter was posting pics on FB's Salem County Memories group. I grew up in the next town over and I was born in '60 so he's just a little before my time. One of the pics was taken from the backstage wings of the Ed Sullivan Show if I remember correctly.

Bill Hailey and HIS Comets.

cheers !

@@trentriver I have people to say that to me too!!!

@@curtiscolwell1572 Great song but I liked Bony Moroney better. 😃

Well, the members were the same, but the name of the band went under different titles. The group was called The Saddlemen because they were doing Western Swing. Even after doing a cover of Rocket 88 in June of 1951 they weren't known as the Comets until September of 1951. Haley called his Hillbilly Boogie -- Cowboy Jive. Bill thought CCR was the best R&R band. He covered a number of their songs. But I think pure Country Music was the best kind of music he did.

Try the original by Louis Prima

@@banner74 - They should do Both. Amber would love the original and Jay the cover.

Great suggestion! And you can think about the other big bands of the time too, Ellington, Basie, The Dorsey Brothers!

Glenn Miller Orchestrata and Artie Shaw Band

The GREAT Lionel Hampton & what he does w-the xylophone & piano ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o4K_F9rmyuA.html on "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)"

Actually "Sing, Sing, Sing" was written by Louis Prima and recorded in 1935 by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra...

A great landmark song. Impressed how well and faithful to the original this much generation band perform it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fEuRvhkAeus.htmlfeature=shared

1954!

@@jollyrodgers7272 yes, but Bill's version came out in 60

It never occurred to me until now. Good one!

They did that one.

My thoughts exactly!

They watched it last year.

@@tanisdevelopment Ah I missed it, Thanks !

That song was written and performed by Sheb Wooley, also know for his roles on the TV show "Rawhide" and in the movie "High Noon"

I've never heard that expression before. Is that a Southern term?
