"Rock Around the Clock"

Am I really finding threads where this is used as an example of wildly overrated songs?

Anyway, I was in The Frontier tonight, getting ready to eat a Bonanza Burger (because sometimes my Anglo guts need bland food) and this came on the oldies station they normally have playing (I guess it's radio of some sort anyway). Very difficult not to start moving when this comes on, that's about all I have to say about it. I think to some extent the song was ruined for me by having watched "Happy Days" regularly at one time, and then growing up and not ever wanting to see that show again for the rest of my life; but tonight it came back at me and I felt its power, sans "Happy Days" associations. I can definitely see how people would have gone crazy to this one the dance floor.

Great song. Kind of creepy to me now but I still like it. Hard to hear it without having "THE 50S!!!!" flashing through your head but I'm not sure that detracts.
