In the '50s, high school dances in America were often referred to as "hops." Sometimes, these dances would be "sock hops" because school administrators would make the kids take off their shoes so they didn't scuff up the floor of the gymnasium, where the dance was usually held.
Been there, done that with these guys and all the others of the late fifties; in my socks and all.
I remember watching an episode of "Happy Day" where they had marathon dances YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA.
Thats why the girls of that day were called “Bobby Sockers.”
So interesting and striking the lack of morbidly obese people 50. 60 years ago
@@jodyjackson5475 Yeah, athletics at school, school dances, chores that can include heavy manual labor, running around and playing outside,.....hmmm there may be a pattern forming in these examples. ;-)
I could totally see Amber rocking a poodle skirt, cardigan sweater, Bobby socks, and saddle shoes. Just dancing her little heart out. With Jay beside her in a fly zoot suit, trying to keep up. 😄
What a perfect visual! They can definitely pull off this look. Maybe for next Halloween.
With a gold pocket watch on a chain, and a handful of would later be known as Soul Glow in his hair.
Amber could definately pull off the retro look.. there are women today that dress retro, she should look it up!!
Sounds like Halloween costume suggestions to me. I think they would look great as well.
Oldies the best y’all need to check Duke of Earl by Gene Chandler!!
You guys have to watch American Graffiti now. It was George Lucas’ first movie, and not only does it have one of the greatest movie soundtracks, but it also shows what life was like for teenagers on a night in 1962. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Absolutely!
100%
I have requested this numerous times on their movie channel. I really hope they watch it.
They must!
They've reacted to at least a few of the songs that movie, and what a great movie.
The perfect movie to bring your music and movie channels together in one experience is American Graffiti. It's director George Lucas's (of Star Wars fame) first major movie, and although it's set in 1962, it captures the last waning days of what it felt like to be a teenager in the 1950s, and includes an incredible soundtrack filled with classic 1950s rock-and-roll.
Also one of Harrison Fords first movie roles.
we've been calling for it for a while
@@michaelmcgillivray1624 It’s an early film role of his, but his first film appearance was in DEAD HEAT ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND (1966), starring James Coburn. He plays a bellhop paging Coburn’s character in a hotel lobby.
A must see classic!!
I was just going to suggest this. It's one of my favorite. I have the movie on DVD and VHS and the records for the soundtrack. McKenzie Phillips (daughter of John Phillips from The Mama's and The Papa's), Kathleen Quinlan, Bo Hopkins, Joe Spano plus all the other stars. My favorite was always Wolfman Jack.
Now you got all the seniors up and 💃💃🕺🕺 dancing. And the kids join in, LETS GO !!!! What a great oldie!!!
Released in 1957, it reached Number 1 and was the highest selling single in 1958. Just a hoot.
Sha Na Na gave it a revival in 1969 performing it at Woodstock and it was featured in the movie American Grafitti in 1973. Great reaction guys. Glad you loved it. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I love American graffiti.
Jay & Amber, their other top 20 hit was "Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay" !! Quite a prediction for 1958!
Rock and Roll is Here to Stay is a GREAT song!
Admittedly, it's virtually the same music with new lyrics...but it's still a great song. Especially the key changes to add a little more energy through the final chorus.
I love the diversity of bands and decades you cover. So much solid respect for the art and artists. Great and thorough reaction. 😊
Great stuff, thanks guys! My pop went to high school with Danny & The Juniors in Philly back in the 50s. The song was written by White, Medora, and Singer in 1957, when Danny & the Juniors were still called The Juvenairs. Initially called "Do the Bop", the song was heard by Dick Clark, who expressed concern that the dance fad of doing The Bop was on its way out, so he suggested they change the band name to the Juniors and the chorus from "Let's all do the Bop" to "Let's go to the Hop.”
I love all decades of music. Thanks to my Dad, I was introduced to the music of the 50s and early 60s at a very young age and have loved it ever since. Danny and the Juniors and Dion and the Belmonts were two of his favorite. The hop refers to the “sock hops” at the high schools
My name is Danny and I was 13 when this came out in 1958, it was the biggest hit of the Summer :)
This song was also featured in the 1973 classic American Graffiti where it was sung at a Hop by Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids. This film was made by George Lucas and was so successful the studios let him make a little "pet project" called Star Wars!
OMG. This takes me back to the early days of rock n roll. This was a huge song played at our high school dances. It always got the entire crowd dancing. Loved your reaction and thanks for returning to my teenage years. 👏👏❤️🇨🇦
You can get a lot of this type of music in the movie ‘American Graffiti’, a movie about small town cruising and early rock n roll that follows a group of teenagers over the course of one night… prom night, i think. A ‘70’s movie set in the ‘50’s.
Definitely!!!!!
Classic!
And a young Han Solo.
Great suggestion, awesome movie!
Yes! You will just LOVE this movie! It was the very first movie written and directed by... George Lucas, who later wrote and directed something you might have heard of.... STAR WARS! lol.
This song was recreated in a live performance by Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids in the iconic George Lucas film AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973), as part of a scene of a high school sock hop where some of the story takes place early in the film. I swear you two will LOVE that movie!!! PLEASE watch it for your movie reaction channel soon!
One of the Juniors was my neighbor. They would rehearse in his Mom's kitchen. I was in grade school. I would sit in my room with the window open enjoying their singing. It was a fun time to be alive in Philadelphia.
you kids are terrific, love the vids I'm 61 and get a lot of joy out of your reactions, keep it up
I love early rock and roll from the 50's and early 60's. One artist that I'd like to see you introduce to your channel is Neil Sedaka. He had many great hits that helped define that era with classics such as "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do", "Calendar Girl", "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen", and "Oh Carol". He also made a comeback in the 70's with "Laughter In The Rain".
Also, also, notice dressed very nicely. No joggers, no t shirts, no holes in pants.
Suits my man, suits!
Doo Wop started with guys who had no money for instruments so they stood on street corners and created vocal parts to fill in for the missing instruments. When they did get record deals they kept those awesome vocal arrangements and added instruments. ☺✌💛 PJ
A 60's group that most reactioners miss reviewing is The Association. Their hits include Cherish, Never My Love, Everything That Touches You, Windy,etc. The trick is to get the original versions, because they formed many reunions with different variations of the group.
The Association - Along Comes Mary
@@jethro1963 U Rite! These guys were super nerdy, but amazing harmony. Especially Cherish! That is the classic for all the frustrated teenage smucks of my era, like me. Incredible lyrics. And I think hard to sing in tune.
love this!!! Yes they are referring to "sock hops" as said below. My sister would do these different dance moves at the school or community club dances. Another dance is 'The Stroll" with another hit song by The Diamonds. Can see some of these performed on "American Graffitti"
I think this song is making you both dance more than usual, good stuff.
Always a Fun Song! :) This one even predates this 71yr old listening to Rock on the radio! :) Barbershop Quartet harmony with LOTS of energy! Wish I still had that much energy! Thanks again for a Great Reaction, You Guys:)
The piano is giving you the boogie woogie sound. Doo-Wop comes from the voices. The guys singing around the trash can in the movie Rocky are a great example of that. There are all kinds of old 50s groups like that you could check out like The Crewcuts, The Penguins, The Moonglows, The Diamonds, The Coasters, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, The Fleetwoods, and Joey Dee and the Starlighters to name but a few.
You guys should add "American Graffiti" to your movie reaction channel. I think you'd both enjoy it. George Lucas was the director.
Definitely. They will love it
Lead singer Danny Rapp (1941-1983) was just 16 when this hit #1 on the Pop and R&B charts in 1957. An all-time classic upbeat doo-wop hit. (A hop is basically a teen dance at the school gym or wherever. Check out the classic film "American Graffiti," set in 1962, where they use this song at a hop.) The other group members were teens too. Their only other major hit was the similar-sounding "Rock and Roll Is Here to Stay" (#19 in 1958).
The EARLY days of rock and roll. Way way back.
American Graffiti as a movie reaction suggestion is right up your alley considering the positive reception you're giving to these old 1950s malt shoppe songs! American Graffiti was made by the guy who made Star Wars, but he made it before he made Star Wars. This was a movie about a typical night as a teenager in 1962. The movie stars future filmmaker Ron Howard in the lead role. The movie has a wall-to-wall soundtrack of 1950s and early 1960s rock n' roll songs. There's also a lot of hot rod cars in the move. I think the both of you will get a kick out of it!
It's graduation night, when some are supposed to leave their small town and go off to college. Absolutely adore that film and the music knocks your sox off!
@@DawnSuttonfabfour yes, their last night before they go off to college. A coming of age tale.
i've been keeping track of you guys listening to bands from the 60s quite a bit this month so here's another one you'll enjoy - Jay and the Americans (Come a Little Bit Closer) it has horns and swooning rhythm so give it a shot
You're mind kind of man, so big, and so strong.
@@censorshipsucks9493 thanks for the compliment that's one of my best qualities the mind is the quickest way to the soul
Cara. Mia.
If you're going to listen to Jay and The Americans you have to listen to Cara Mia.
My sister was a teen in high school during this time. I was a little brother that loved listening in when my big sister and her friends played these records.
This song is done in [American Graffiti - 1973 ] at a sock-hop dance. You should react to that movie if you haven't done it yet.
Loving the 50s “soda pop” you’ve been doing. Now for a movie!! “AMERICAN GRAFFITI” really depicts the period well. And great music and great cars all thru the movie.
You so will enjoy reacting to "American Graffiti" It is FULL of this kind of music.
Sock hops or record hops, as they were also called, were what dances were called back in the day. Usually someone spinning records and kids dancing to the music, or dancing to music played on the jukebox.
I remember watching them when they first appeared on American bandstand with this big hit song! Now this is history for me
Initially called "Do the Bop", the song was heard by Dick Clark, who expressed concern that the dance fad of doing The Bop was on its way out, so he suggested they change the band name to the Juniors and the chorus from "Let's all do the Bop" to "Let's go to the Hop". After performing the song on Clark's show American Bandstand, it gained popularity and went to the top of the US charts, remaining at number one for five weeks.
The song describes the scene at a record hop, particularly the dances being performed and the interaction with the disc jockey host.
"At the Hop" was revived, performed at Woodstock by Sha-Na-Na in August 1969, and was included on the soundtrack album.
This was originally titled "Do The Bop", a dance craze at the time. It was changed to "At The Hop" because it was thought the craze was almost over and it would hurt sales of the song to be associated with the Bop.
I don't care if Amber says she can't dance, I love her big smile and watching her enjoy herself. She's often the highlight of my day and you can tell that her amazing attitude and gigantic heart are big reasons why her kids are all so sweet and adorable. Jordan's a good dude, too! 😅😅
Absolutely THIS ^^^^^^
@@ErnieB totally!
Amber dances like I do. I think that it's called "Chair Dancing". I could always move my body but not my feet! Lol!
The Queen of Chair Dancing, our girl Amber Lol
Agreed. She has a great smile and a great face in general. It's impossible to not smile right along with her.
Watching American Graffiti should be a must in order to feel the groove of the era🌝
Doo-Wop started out with The Mills Brothers in the 1930's. Four guys, one acoustic guitar and they used their voices to sound like the other instruments in a jazz band. (The Mills Brothers also made the very first "music videos" with animator Max Fleischer.) The style was adapted and refined by other vocal groups like The Ink Spots, The Impressions and The Flamingoes in the 40's and 50's. By the time Rock And Roll came around, urban kids were already singing acapella "Doo-Wop" versions of their favorite R&B songs on the street corners because they generally couldn't afford instruments. Doo-Wop was mainly popular in north-eastern cities like New York and Philadelphia....which is where the music industry was located at the time...which is why so many young Doo-Wop groups got recorded. On the west coast, The Beach Boys blended Doo-Wop with Chuck Berry and created Surf Music and the California Sound. Danny And The Juniors had another fun hit called "Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay" that is basically...the same as 'At The Hop". Other great Doo-Wop groups to check out are Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, Dion And The Belmonts, Little Anthony And The Imperials, The Del Vikings, The Coasters, The Marcels....
Sounds like you're working your way through the American Graffiti sound track! Can't go wrong. Maybe react to the movie
Subscribed about a year ago & this is not just a song - it's a piece of R&R history. It was one of the sparks. Thanks for the upload friends.
You might also enjoy the Del-Vikings "Come Go With Me", "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" by Curtis Lee, "You Can't Sit Down" by the Dovells which are the most rockin' like this. "Earth Angel" by The Penguins, "Since I Don't Have You " by the Skyliners, "Get A Job" by the Silhouettes, " Book Of Love" by The Monotones, "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers", "There's A Moon Out Tonight" by the Capris, "So In Love" by the Tymes are some of the huge ones. Doo Wop isn't about the piano but the harmony of the voices no matter the accompaniment and covers rockers like this and beautiful romantic ballads as well. Even a group like Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are at their core a doo wop group with songs like "Sherry" .
Iconic .. covered by many artists including Sha-Na-Na
Sha Na Na covered everything, and did it well. Did you know that Lenny from Sha Na Na was the saxophonist for Danny, and the Juniors?
@@censorshipsucks9493czcdds r rsbeberbetsfb bre bre rr sbr r cc gbfstrttrttrtttrtttrttttr trndr d tnr
I remember Sha-NA-NA. They had a TV show.
This song brings back happy memories for me. In the late 70's when I was 5 or 6, my two older sisters and I did a little dance routine to this song. There's a picture of it in one of our picture albums of us all dressed in our poodle skirts and saddle shoes going in different directions, with me pointing in the direction I thought we were supposed to go! Good times!
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I have been enjoying this song since I was a kid back in the 60's. Another song by Danny and the Juniors is Rock and Roll Will Never Die. A couple of good cover versions of At The Hop are by Sha Na Na, at Woodstock is good but there are better versions by them, and Crash Cadillac and the Continental Kids from the movie American Graffiti. I believe that is their
name. Speaking of AG, that's a movie you should watch. You will especially like the music and the cars.
I'm born in 1962 and I grew up with this music still playing on radio in the 60s and 70s.
I was in HS from '69 thru '72. Every December, there was a Father/Daughter dance called "The Pop Hop".
This puts me in the mood for a sock hop , the twist and so much more 😁
Danny & the Juniors-from Philly-had their share of hits-Rock and Roll Is Here to stay, Twistin USA, Pony Express and Dottie.

Apparently the name, "Hops" came from the dances that growers of hops, used in the making of beer, used to put on for the kids that they would employ to pick the hops at the end of the season. They were called, hops dances. They employed a lot of kids for a short period of time during the year.
Seeing you love the song is awesome!!
Watching you guys go through music through the years you're getting when the best music was written. I agree at 72 I've heard it all and I still go back to the 50's/60's when I get bored with everything else.
The Dawn of Rock & Roll...
Such a time in music. Everything was so innocent, or so it appeared. It actually amazes me of sooooooooo much change regarding music, Rock and Roll, yet it still seemed so simple. I love this sound and the time. I think I was in a past life but I died in a car crash on "Deadmans Curve", a song by Jan and Dean. Oh and the ages of Danny and the Juniors was 14 and 15 years old!!!!!!!
This is the music I grew up to, and I wasn't born till 1964! But my mam loved this music so much, that's all she listened to. 🎶
A hop was an informal dance usually held in the high school gym. Each class, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior would hold a formal prom where you would have to wear a gown for the girls and a tuxedo for the boys, and dress shoes. But there were also hops where you wore more casual clothes and danced in stocking feet so they wouldn't have to wax the gym floor the next day.
Originally this song was called "Do The Bop" but Dick Clark suggested they change the title as Bop was street gang slang for a gang fight and jazz slang for sexual intercourse thus it became At The Hop. Motown came about 2 or 3 years later(1959-1960).
PLEASE 🙏 On your other channel you must react to the movie “AMERICAN GRAFFITI”; this song is featured in it and the entire movie has Doo-Wop playing throughout. It was George Lucas’ first film and an instant classic!!!❤
I was a teenager at the time this came out. The words have more significance than you may know. The last line here (Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation) clues you in. Dances (like waltz or tango but hipper) are being named. I did them.
Well, you can rock it you can roll it / You can stomp and even stroll it at the hop / When the record starts spinnin' / You calypso when you chicken at the hop / Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Great reaction!, 😃 this song was popular at sock hops, that's when they would hold dances ( usually at a school gym ) where you can dance in your socks.🧦 recommend little Richard "Tutti frutti", Thank you! Peace! ☮
They haven't done Tutti Frutti?!?? That is a must.
I remember my junior high school in 1981 holding a sock hop as a throw back to that era. Many of our teachers were 35-45 years old so it surely reminded them of being a teenager in 1950s/1960s Canada.
Ah, the first song I remember rocking out to. My mom was visiting her friend and they put on a 45 rpm record of this song. Us kids had a blast jumping up and down to the music.
Thank you!! I'm crying, and swinging, and singing along all at the same time. And loving you two and this reaction.
Other of their songs you should check out is definitely "Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay" and "Twistin' USA".
I was six years old when this song popped up on American Bandstand. There was a dance step associated with this song. One of my favorite oldies. Thanks to my parents for allowing us to enjoy that "devil" music. Peace out.
I swear Amber, you are reincarnated from the 50’s!!😂❤ And yes, the hop is a place - a gym or local community place where dances were held, usually on a Friday night. Went to many of them!!
In the old days, some school dances would require you to take off your shoes to save the gym floor or in other cases, it was just fashionable to dance in your socks. It was called a "sock hop". Eventually slang shortened it to just "The Hop". This tune is about going to the school dance.
I was 5 years old in 1957 when this song was a #1 hit. I was already rockin' to Elvis, The Big Bopper, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Four Seasons, Chuck Berry, and more. It's why I was a big fan of Huey Lewis & The News years later. Their music was so much like the 50's & 60's DOOWOP rock n' roll.
You'll need to do a movie review of American Graffiti!
I’m not old enough (50) to experience true sock hops, but my parents were and we had a couple in high school to replicate our parents experience. Very fun, no expectations at all… just come as you are and have a ball without pretentiousness!!❤
You guys should check out American Graphitti, directed by George (Star Wars) Lucas. This was his 2nd feature film that he directed. Star Wars would be his next film. It takes place in 1962 which follows a group of High School Seniors on their last night before Graduation. SO many young famous faces in this movie! And the music...awesome! Hits from the mid-'50's to the early '60's.
Fiona Apple. Criminal.
The Specials. Ghost Town.
This music reminds me of my dad and always makes me smile. Brings me back to sitting at the table listening to the radio.

I remember seeing Danny & the Juniors on TV, way back in the day. I believe on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. Just brings back a lot of memories, glad the Cats & Chick's still enjoy this.
They had "car hops back then. " Like Arnold's on Happy Days. My parents used to listen to all those bands. We had Danny and the Junior albums, Chubby Checker, all the good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Great song. Great share
A classic! Yes, dances were popularly referred to as "sock hops" or "hops" for short. So Danny's just telling his girl they should go to the big dance. (As in "Grease", "Back to the Future" and so on.)
From southwest Philadelphia, this was one of the early hits for Dick Clark's Swan Records, making Clark into the industry powerhouse he became.
Sadly Danny Rapp committed suicide in his hotel room while on tour in 1983, but the rest of the group pushed on, with bass vocalist Joe Terranova taking the lead. They continued to tour, with Terranova and tenor David White both passing away in 2019. Second Tenor Frank Maffei continues to perform with his brother Bobby (who was brought in as an additional voice), which isn't bad when you consider that they turned 83 and 82 this year, respectively.
Love you two and your journey thru my music, a big part of the 50's thru the 70's was American Band Stand with Dick Clark. There is a lot of youtube videos of the show and you can see how music and dancing evolved thru the years. Many of the teen dancer became famous on the show and had their own followers. We had Hops every friday night in Jr. and Sr. high till about 69 when they stopped them because of a rowdy crowd causing trouble. Even after it was a great time to grow up.
Our music was so much fun to dance to. It is good to see you kids enjoy the music of my generation. Danny and the Juniors were before Motown.

Hi guys. The Hop wasn't a place it was an event. A dance. Mostly school dances. So as not to ruin the basketball courts in the gyms or scuff up the cafeteria floors, they would kick off their shoes and dance in their socks. They were referred to as sock hops, or sometimes just hops.
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package.❤
I love this 1957 hit! Imagine a few yrs later The Beatles all over the world with «I saw her standing there»
Congratulations you're the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package...❤
Another big hit by Danny and the Juniors was "Rock and Roll is Here to Stay"
Also they had teen centers for kids to hang out and dance. Aka The hop. Looks majority are doing the jitterbug, the stomp ,stroll, and chicken are dance moves
At the Hop was one of the first songs I remember as a very young boy. I love the way you guys appreciate and always have very positive things to say about all these songs that were popular way outside your own generation. it helps bring our generations closer together and demonstrates that we can all types of music simply for music's sake. Enjoy watching you guys!
A “sock hop” is a dance party from the 50s where teens would take off their shoes and dance in their socks on the wooden floors in a local school gymnasium.
This was their only hit record. It was originally called "Do The Bop" but Dick Clark suggested they change the Title. If they own the rights, they are set since it was sung in American Graffitti. They did it on American Bandstand when it was still based in Philly.
In doo wop style singing, the backup singers mainly substitute for a horn section. Listen for it. This originated from the desire of young singers to stand around on a street corner and make music, with no added complications, gear, or expense.
Legend has it that the lyrics were originally "do the bop" but Dick Clark was afraid that would lead to limited shelf life and thus the lyric was changed to "at the hop."
The version we hear is the 13th take. Studios weren’t into laying down separate tracks and mixing just yet. So, that’s 13 times Walter Gates banging out that rhythm on the piano.
Jay and Amber
Thank you for reacting my parents' generation! I grew up listening to music when my parents' radio. Pioneers of Rock.
Why was a dance called a hop?
They were dance parties typically held in a high school cafeteria or gymnasium. The dances were called sock hops because the dancers were required to take off their shoes to protect the varnished floor from scuff marks.
My dad would do a 50's and 60's night at his club, absolutely loved dancing to this!
This Music is FUN, brings smiles when you listen to it, I have always loved it and always will. Thank You.
I really love it that y’all love all the old music from the fifties, sixties and seventies. There a billion dollars to be made out there if you can find some singers that can sing and play like the artist. This generation is wanting peoples that can sings. I wish I was young and in this time, I would do wop, soul rock and roll, bubble gum and all kind of singers to sing these songs.
Some have mentioned American Graffiti as a movie to watch that depicts the 50's very well by George Lucas (Star Wars). You will see a very young Harrison Ford & Ron Howard. Excellent movie! I was not a child of the 50's but loved this movie. Gave you a good sense of teen life, including the tough life of Greasers. But as was mentioned, the soundtrack is amazing.
The 'hop' was a high school dance event, normally held at the school gym. An event where kids could expend some energy and mingle, checking out each other and build relationships. Also known as a 'sock hop' because girls wore Bobby socks and Mary Jane shoes.
Loved sock hops in HS! I graduated in 1962. We had our 60th reunion last June. This and other 50s music never really gets old!
I watch a lot of music reaction channels, but yours is the only one I’ve subscribed to. 👍👍

Miss Amber has the best chair dance skills. 👍 🪩 💃
The purest form of Rock 'n' roll. Ain't none better.
