Song: Sh Boom -- The Crew Cuts

The Crew Cuts

3am in the morning, I am still working on notes preparation. I suddenly played that old CD that has been in my computer drive for a long long time, and my childhood memories started to come back.

This is a really sweet little song with lots of light-heartedness, performed by a band active between 1952 and 1964.

Wikipedia describes The Crew Cuts as
"a Canadian vocal quartet, that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide. They named themselves after the then popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. They were most famous for their recording of a cover version of The Chords hit record, "Sh-Boom."" 

And the song I want to recommend, is of course, the sweet, cute, mesmerizing classic Su-Boom!

Every time I listen, I really enjoy being tricked a couple of times that the song has come to an end when the music stops. See if you have the same feeling! Enjoy!
