The Chords wrote and performed this song first, then later on another band, The Crew Cuts, recorded a cover of this song and reached number #1 on the pop charts. Nowadays though, people prefer the original, at least I do.
"Life could be a dream" is the first line of the lyrics in the song "Sh-Boom" by The Chords. I love how smooth and calming the music is while still having a happy undertone to it. Of course, most people who listen to this song are now reminded of Cars, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think this song was written with a certain nostalgic feeling, and this song certainly fits the scene in Cars where it's featured.
This song doesn't have any political messages or racial streams in it like we saw in some of the other music we've listened to, "Sh-Boom" is definitely a romantic song with the singer just trying to get a girl to fall in love with him. It may seem cheesy, but I definitely prefer these types of songs to any other of that specific time period because it's easy to sing to and enjoy.
I think that is very cool that you are able to make personal connections to this song.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fun song it listen to!! I agree it is a romantic song with no political or racial views which was kinda refreshing.
