They took who knows how long sifting through classic movies and put the clips together to make all of your favorite vintage characters ‘dance’ to the catchy tune.

The Most Ridiculous Teen Tragedy Songs (ever) [Full Thread]
Post Date: 2015-11-28 16:41:00 by Bill D Berger
49 Comments
Next1 / 11 The teen tragedy song genre was exactly what it sounds like: pop/rock music that focused on the bittersweet relationship between two young lovers. One of them winds up dead. There were multiple variations of the theme, which was a hit during the 1950s and ‘60s, and contemporary groups have parodied or performed their own versions since then. Today marks the anniversary of one of the most popular teen tragedy tracks, “Leader of the Pack” by The Shangri-Las. We’re celebrating the dead sweethearts of yore with a look at some of the more ridiculous takes on the genre (although they were all pretty over-the-top). Brace yourself for overwrought lyrics and ...

The B-52 bomber turns 60 (photos) The first one flew in 1952. And the youngest one in the Air Force -- and there are about 90 total -- is still flying after a half-century. B-52 in the air It was at the vanguard of aviation technology in the 1950s, and it's still going strong today: meet the B-52 Stratofortress. Like the multipurpose C-130 and the high-flying, super-spying U-2, also products of the '50s, the B-52 heavy bomber continues to show that old doesn't have to mean outdated, even in an era of rapid technological change. Just the opposite: through good maintenance and occasional updates, vintage tech can hold its own against flashier but more expensive, and more ...

Would This 1980 Movie Clip Of An Old White Lady Talkin' Jive Survive The Politically-Correct Censors Today?

In this funny clip from the 1980 comedy AIRPLANE, 'Leave It To Beaver' star Barbara Billingsley talks smack to two black guys in jive on the plane. I also found a later clip of an older Barbara discussing the role and the positive repercussions it had- and a special treat, when she talks a bit of jive again, in the interview! Ha! [Note: Barbara Billingsley died five years ago this week, Born 12/22/1915-10/16/2010.] And finally, the creators of AIRPLANE and the two jive-talking actors, now much older, discuss the filming of that scene and their roles. Also, a clip with the cast of 'Leave It To Beaver' on Joan Rivers Show in 1987, and an early clip from Leave It to ...

"The Ballad of Penny Evans"

"The Ballad of Penny Evans" by Jeff Siegel Somewhere, if the story is true, there is a middle-aged woman living in the Northeast, maybe in Boston, with two grown daughters and maybe even some grandchildren. And, if she is lucky, none of them are boys.The woman is Penny Evans, who supposedly met a songwriter named Steve Goodman in a Rochester pizza joint 35 years ago, and told him about her husband, who had been killed in Vietnam. The result was Goodman’s astonishing "The Ballad of Penny Evans," and if there is a more powerful protest song in the history of protest songs, I’ve yet to hear it. In 3 minutes and 40 seconds, singing a cappella in a voice with more ...

From the Slope of Hope: I wanted to do a post that had nothing to do with Greece or charts, just for a change of pace. Because I don’t know about you, but after the past 72 hours, I’m exhausted! One of my favorite “fun” books is a 1995 offering called Hey Skinny!, which is a collection of full-page color ads that were published in comic books in the 1940s and 1950s. I’ve thumbed through the book many times, but it dawned on me that even though we live in an age where a product released a month ago is “ancient history”, these artifacts from six decades ago still speak to the same immutable human desires (which are basically to ...
