Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby?
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love (you and I will fall in love)
People say that love's a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in
-Put Your Head on My Shoulder Paul Anka

taking paul for a walk
”hey, i need to take paul anka for a walk. you wanna come?” you asked your boyfriend standing a few feet away from you in the living room as you put paul’s leash on. “yeah, sure.”
jess kindly opened the front door and let you out first. “what a gentleman.” you put your free hand over your heart. jess chuckled and watched as paul ran straight off the porch, tugging you with him.
“hey, dude! now paul, we need to act like the civilized people we are.” you stood up straight and walked slowly as paul scurried around. “more like hooligans.” your boyfriend teased, ruffling your hair.
you let out a dramatic gasp. “hooligans?? i dare say!” paul anka found a good spot to release niagara falls and you turned around to give him his privacy. “why do you turn around? he doesn’t care.” jess shrugged. you rolled your eyes. “it’s the civilized thing to do.”
“oh, well excuse me.” he dragged out.
a/n: been sitting in my drafts ik it’s short but i really wanna get stuff out for ppl :( even if it’s little like this

i heard this version of this classic last week for the first time (better than it has any right to be tbh) and it led to an inevitable rocky marathon. good stuff all around.

Year-End Poll #10: 1959
Tumblr media
More information about this blog here
Welcome to the year of pining for love and killing people.
I'm kidding. This is the first year-end chart after the implementation of the Hot 100, resulting in a larger pool of music to pull from. It's interesting how the presence of rock and roll doesn't feel as strong as it's been in previous years. Dick Clark, a radio and television personality at the time (who will definitely come up in future entries) advised Bobby Darin not to release Mack the Knife because he worried a traditional pop/jazz track wouldn't work in a post-rock and roll musical landscape. Mack the Knife ended up winning Record of the Year at the second ever Grammy Awards and the first to be televised.
I bring this up, not to spend too much time focusing on a single song, but to show the various ways the music scene has changed in the mainstream. With both the Hot 100 and the Grammy Awards, we're seeing a shift in how music is being talked about and consumed. However, looking at the origins of the Grammy Awards makes the absence of rock and roll on the charts feel rather eerie, especially after the numerous blatant examples of racial bias centering the awards. Even with all of the marketable white faces, rock and roll is still a Black genre. To many people in the industry, rock and roll wasn't a fad -- it was a threat. I found one quote claiming that in 1957 [the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences] "didn't want to slave to the enthusiasm of teenage girls". I was not able to confirm the source of the quote, but its sentiment can still be felt to this day. Rock and roll was considered juvenile, loud, sexual, dangerous, and Black. It was everything white America was afraid of and something the National Academy had in mind when creating the thesis behind the Grammy Awards.
Did this effort to shield the musical landscapes from the shifting tides pay off? Will the "enthusiasm of teenage girls" never touch the charts again?
I'll see you all in the 1960s.
