My grandma has dementia and randomly sings songs like this so I looked up some things she said and found this song amd played it for her shes so happy thank you for uploading this.
@@harveyawesome you are one piece of shit. It’s just a song. Grow up. Someone’s grandma says “ling ting tong” and that somehow effects you? Taunting people about their family dying isn’t cool, and neither is being offended by three meaningless words. You need to get your priorities straight.
Five keys they were right on time and it's still good that music is still good today thank you five keys for giving us this beautiful music you guys had beautiful voices God bless you
The first line of the song reminds me of a woman I know who worked for a committee that welcomed US armed forces people to Hong Kong. A sailor fresh off the boat said to her: "Can you tell me the way to Chinatown?" She replied: "You're in it."
@@ulyssesperry886 are there any awkward, slightly problematic songs from the 1950’s about Americans in your country? That would make me feel a lot better about liking this song, actually. 😅
A few years back I was in a Half Price Books in Arlington and I found a Time Life Rock&Roll Era Album featuring some R&B artists from that Era and this was one of the songs on it
The song right here it's cold as ice the brothers are dressed to the nines they deserve respect and I still like it listen to it broccoli everyday thank you Brothers we love you
Loved this song for many years. Oldies station back home played it for years until it was bought out by a corporation around 1990 and many gems like this were eliminated from their playlists.
True story - I was a 17 year old working at my first job at a Buick dealership in 1972. I came into the service area from outside and the owner Danny was there with this song playing . He was dancing and smiling - when I saw him I broke out laughing. Well……. for the next 50+ years this song played in my head as well as I could remember it. A month ago, I came back from my vacation in Bali and turned on my tv that was unplugged, so it took a little time to get everything back. I put on TH-cam and there was a video “ top 100 songs from the 50’s. I put it on and song # 99 was this song !!!! What a wonderful surprise - incidentally I remembered the melody ok, but not the words so much !!
Loved this song since I was a kid. I didn't know two different groups did it. Don't know which one I like better. Both have their high points. PS I smokum boo, long time! (Back in the day)
Just watched "Taxi Driver" for the first time in 10 + (maybe 20) years. When Robert De Niro (Travis Bickle) meets "The Pimp" / Sport / Matthew ( Harvey Keitel) for the first time in a doorway!!!, this is the song Matthew is singing!!!!
Give my boys some respect and some proper they open the door for all these singers now and they can't get no respect give them some respect David Moore South Central Los Angeles we love you I listen to you and I appreciate you you and your family God bless you
I can just hear the cultural-appropriation crowd condemning this. I'm surprised that they haven't "cancelled" it, you know, to show the world how virtuous they are.
I first heard this on a radio program in 1969 called "The History of Rock 'n' Roll," and laughed at the fact that it got past the stiff, conservative censors of the mid-1950's. - Tony Arioli
You're confusing political correctness with conservatism which are far from the same thing. Even extreme left liberals (and rightly so) wouldn't have had a problem with the song at the time.

Been trying to find this song forever! One of my favorites as a kid.
One of the very early rockers from late 1954. Awesome.
A few years back I was in a Half Price Books in Arlington and I found a Time Life Rock&Roll Era Album featuring some R&B artists from that Era and this was one of the songs on it
How many of you are here from Mafia 2 ?? This is the song that caught my ears most in mafia 2 radio songs..!!
Loved this song. Thanks for making me smile. It was great being a teen in the 50's.

Every time i watch Taxi Driver i wonder what song Harvey Keitel sings as he stands in the doorway...
I went to Chinatown, way back in old Hong Kong ;)
That character wound up getting his "Hi-somokom boom biyay, hi-somokum boom!" alright.
"To get some egg-foo-yong'. Love it too.
@@lindadee2053 WHAT?! Love me some egg-foo-young, especially at night time!!!
Had this one 1954--love it!
I remember when I first heard this song when I was 45 years old in 1948

they didn't have to make this song go so hard
Thanks for uploading this! I thought the Coasters sang this song. 😊❤
Five keys is the true bop, they bodied this waaay more than the charms imo
"the charms" Thanks! I was blocking on the name.
It’s 2018 and IM TRIGGERED!!!

“Officer, I swear I’m clean.”
Not racist at all
a coded message: "I smoke boo (weed)" and i'm copping in chinatown.
Was thinking the same thing.
This is a perfect companion song to The Gaylords - Chow Mein, and I love it.
Keep your foot on the necks of the woke by keeping these songs alive.
Ima roll my first joint of the year, happy 2021 everyone hopefully this I fuck up less
Man..a wailing sax!
I didn't know they did this I've only heard the bill haley version
Who's from Mafia2?
Who's here after Mafia 2 ?
Wow
Trump should send this on a CD to the Chinese leadership as a gesture of goodwill.

Maybe its there voices. 4 of these guys sing a certain key but 2 sing the same
One of this bunch is not like the others, tell me can you guess which one? Id say its the one on the far left, looks like a pin head
Step on it Vito!
A Top Doo Wop song 1956

Máfia 2 is so fucking good
Funny the mafia 2 is set from 1945 to 1951 and this is in it Contradictory but still a good song
Hmm Mafia II classic.
