That's a funny satire! Very cool. For comparison, here is the version from The Platters:

And since we are taking a trip down memory lane, here is another great oldie from the 50s.

More memory lane ...

That's also my timeline. I was in public school in the mid 50s to early 60s and high school in the mid to late 60s.
If you're a big Moody Blues fan, I posted a special version of Tuesday Afternoon at post #768. Here's another oldie, but one-hit-wonder goodie, released the same year as The Moody Blues' Go Now.

Interesting thread.

Many oldies. Great music.

But how 'bout "oldies" actually now performing?

I present to you the current Kings of British rap. I've chosen a song not quite as "gangster" as their usual like Bish Bash Bosh or Action Man. It also has numerous travel references. But you'll quickly see and hear what they're all about :

Ray Charles and (the underappreciated, IMHO) Diane Schuur: It Had to Be You and You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to. Love the camaraderie and banter between them.

We've seen Santana in concert a few times. Every time with a new lead singer. The other week my grand daughters had a you tube video playing through the stereo speakers of some young female pop singer which would be normal but I could hear the guitar riffs so I looked. It was Carlos Santana in a pop rock video that teens like. That guy is timeless.

Another great oldie and also the anthem for Liverpool FC.

On the occasion of the 236th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, and in honour of our French allies, bonne fête nationale (le 14 juillet).

The blues medley finale from the Muddy Waters session at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival.

Larry Adler's mastery of the harmonica will likely never be replicated again. But what a powerful scene in this 1940s film. The young woman for whom Larry Adler plays Clair de Lune doesn't yet know that her fiance has been killed in action in the south Pacific. But her friends know and planned to tell her and also provide her with the official government notification at a New York City restaurant. And you can see why they decide not to tell her after all and, indeed, put away the notification.
