NOW THIS IS HOW YOU GET THE PARTY STARTED!!! DANNY AND THE JUNIORS - AT THE HOP (REACTION)

You can rock it, you can roll it! One of my all time favorite songs. We used to dance at house parties, over at friend's houses or at the donut shop. Danced all the time. Loved your reactions to this. Had lots of fun with you two tonight.

Simpler times.

Boy Bands are just an old idea come around again.

You two are so cute. Quite the fun couple.

ripppppiinnnnnnnnn ty ty ty

Always loved this. Awesome!!!

EARLY '58, i WAS 11 Y/O, IN 6TH GRADE, & IN JUST ABOUT 3 MONTHS I WOULD DISCOVER GIRLS ! ----------These guys were American Bandstand favorites. ---------------MJL< 75 y/o

You guys are great! Notice how most of what your listening to has real singers, not poetry readers.

Danny Rapp had a rough life after their two biggest hits. They were very young when they recorded this, he was 16. They songs were released again and topped Uk charts in the ‘70s. Unfortunately Danny commuted suicide in 1983. Suite wish things had turned out better for him. Rock on Danny!

AND THEN ALONG CAME ELVIS...

When all these vocal groups practiced and polished up a song before going into a recording studio, they sang it acapella, no instrumental accompaniment, on the street, in a hallway, someone's house, wherever. It would've blown your minds to have been at a good doo-wop group's practice and actually FEEL the magic of their harmony being created in midair right in front of you. Back in the day,, I did that at least a hundred times.

A hop was a school dance but not the prom.

Reminds me of the great dances at Riverdale Collegiate in Toronto way back in the early 1960's. Good memories.

Nothing like the great music from the early 1960's.

If you want to hear some good 50's music, watch American Graffiti. Music and story is great.

This sure brings back the memories! Take off those saddle shoes!

Poodle skirts with lots of slips or tight skirts, Bobby socks and penny loafers were the outfits we wore while dancing to this. Such fun times. 💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥

I was 15/16 in 1958. We had “Teen Town.” My mother insisted that I go. I hated it; I was afraid of boys and I couldn’t dance. 😢

Sock Hop, kick your shoes off and dance!

The hop...school sock hop!!

This is my fav 1 2 watch + how u guys react 2 this njoy watching g u better than the video back story here it was called at the bop + the legendary duck Clark suggested they change it 2 at the hop + the rest is history

Great

58 I was 9yrs old but still remember it well. Back then this music was only on AM radio

Something added to songs geared toward dancing at that time were the names of the dances that kids were doing. For some reason it would always bring the song up in sales.

White rap

Suggestion for you the song, "This Is Decayed To The One I Love!", By The Temprees, (The Long version)

The actual "Hop" was usually a roadside restaurant with plenty of parking. You could get burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pizza, malts, shakes, floats, and ice cream sundaes. There were the classic chrome swivel stools to sit on in the front, and many of them had a separate area with speakers that they would clear out on a Friday and Saturday night for some dancing. Good tunes, good food, good vibes, and good times back then. Doo wop was an all-american invention. 🇺🇸

I was 15 y/o, the schools had SOCK/HOPS in the gym. Playing all the TOP 10 records. Many times local bands would play LIVE @ the hops.
Safe, sane, fun for teenagers!! Dance the night away 🎶 ✨️

No guys NOT at a club--------at a sock hop ---------High School;s had them all the time. Originally, the lyrics were " do the Bop" , as it was a new dance craze, but Dick Clark told the guys to try saying " At The Hop " , & those lyrics were even better, & so it was ! all over late '57, early '58. ----------------MJL, 76 y/o

That piano.

Shawn and Mel: Enjoyed your enthusiasm as you were reacting to Danny & The Juniors.

Cool time in music

The 50s were incredible guys.. American Graffiti is a good flick and highly recommended. Danny sure killed it back then but let's not forget Bill Haley had been game way before Lol. Keep on hitting those 50s guys.. not sure if you have covered the Platters but it's a must!

"Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay" -- same group

Please forgive this 70 year old's observation here but WHAT A SHAME that young kids (kids in high school) today can no longer go to their high school gym, be asked to remove their shoes so they won't scuff up the gym floor, and dance (and jump?) around in their socks "at their HS sock hop"... Sure it was a time of innocence... But no one was getting shot... No one was there looking for a fight... Just friendship and fun (and, if one were really lucky, a goodnight HUG from a HS sweetheart?)... There's something to be said about growing up "naive" back in the late 50's and early 60's... It is too bad so many kids these days will never experience that "innocence of youth"...

Was going to be called “At the Bop” 😮but, TV host Dick Clark, had them change it! Because he figured that lots of people, wouldn’t know that Slang 😅

If you can’t dance get off the floor and make room for those who can.

cheers

I was born in '53, and in the mid-sixties my junior high school had a Friday "sock hop" once a month. You couldn't wear your street shoes on the gym floor so you had to leave your shoes in the hall. I was a nerdy little girl, but my (some nerdy, some with a little more panache!) friends and I sure went to the sock hops! No swing dancing then, sadly, but some of the popular dances were the Mashed Potato, the Swim, the Pony, the Twist and the Jerk. Lots of fun.

You two are way more fun to watch than the video when u play 50/60's music !

The hop was a highschool dance

I want to know if you've ever seen this music danced to? Hearing is one thing but these kids could really move!

"who says "white boys can't dance" ... I'm callin' for a dance off, lol! Great post!!

Loved going to the Hop every weekend in the school hall, the parish hall. Great times not like today.
