Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Oh man that music's gone, gone
(I said) Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Oh man that music's gone, gone
When I go out and I want a treat
I find me a band with a solid beat
Take my chick and we dance about
When they start rockin
Boy we start to shout (we shout)
Go, go, go everybody
Go, go, go everybody
Go, go, go everybody
Go, go, go,.go, go, go, go
They play it soft, they play it strong
They play it wild and they play it long
They just keep playin till the break of day
To keep them rockin all you gotta say is
Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Oh man that music's gone, gone
(I said) Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Crazy man crazy
Oh man that music's gone, gone
The song Crazy Man Crazy by Bill Haley and His Comets is a classic rock and roll song that captures the essence of the early rock and roll era. The lyrics describe the love for the music and the experience of going out and finding a band with a solid beat in order to dance the night away with your partner. The repetitive use of the phrase "Crazy man crazy" emphasizes the excitement and craziness of the music and the dancing that it inspires. The chorus "Oh man that music's gone, gone" highlights the idea that the music is so powerful that it takes over and transports the listener and participants to another world where everything is wild and free.
The lyrics go on to describe the different ways that the band plays the music, from soft to strong, from wild to long, but regardless of how they play it, the music never stops. The song captures the spirit of the early rock and roll era, which was all about fun, freedom, and energy. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they evoke a powerful feeling of nostalgia for a time when rock and roll was new and exciting. The energy of the song is infectious, and it's impossible not to want to dance along with the beat.

If YouTube existed (let alone home computers) back in the 1950s, the like/dislike ratio would have been more noticeable. Fortunately today, most people do appreciate early rock 'n roll.

And 60s too, Imagine listing to Jimi Hendrix or The Rolling Stones here

April 1953! The real stepping stone of the wide world music revolution !

@jgc4818
This is where it all started. July, 1953 this made the top 20 on the billboard best sellers chart. The birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll as a popular music form.

No Rock and Roll started in the late 40s on the race stations.
@Hirotigashi
@@argus1393This is factual. Due to segregation this sound was considered R&B or Race music before being called Rock & Roll and being repurposed for white audiences in the early to mid 50’s. The true history of Rock & Roll is a reflection of the time period that it came from. Black artists come up with a sound first, most white people don’t care for it except for a few, and then those few popularize it to many white people because they’re considered more “acceptable”
@bhollyfanhardin9627
@@argus1393 that's complete horseshit.......this is where rockabilly/rock n roll started with Bill Haley and his band..........Bill Haley and his band created what we consider rockabilly/rock n roll back in 1950-1951.........
@stephenmcguire7801
Actually, this may have been the first R&R song of any genre to make it high on the Billboard chart; it put rock 'n' roll on the map for millions.
