It's that time of year to do a 180: go get my surfboard and listen to "Surfer's Stomp" by #TheMarketts. https://t.co/ZzisrunT7w

Six-decade throwback: "Is it Love?" by #CillaBlack. https://t.co/csDCHhhEXM

'Be good for goodness' sake!' #EllaFitzgerald #Christmas

A cartoon voice, radio trickster and parodist with a bad attitude about music, #StanFreberg criticized any who "sold out" then joined the moneymongers anyway...leaving me at a loss for ways to describe Stan's long, successful, flippant career. More at WBA: https://t.co/LaoHrTiBAL

#TheStatusQuo gave us one of the coolest psychedelic hits and weirdest titles: "Pictures of Matchstick Men." https://t.co/r4DU9BfFbm #StatusQuo

#SantoandJohnny have a seasonal island-style dance tune for us: "Twistin' Bells." #Christmas

While #JimmyDean does the Twist, #BuckOwens and #TheBuckaroos sing about a childhood memory: "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy." #Christmas

Elvis never sound better!? "Heartbreak Hotel" might not have been so popular if this had been the version. #StanFreberg #ElvisPresley https://t.co/LaoHrTiBAL

"Pictures of Matchstick Men" was the career highlight for #TheStatusQuo in 1968, their only year of popularity in the U.S. But on the band's British home turf, they were a top-selling act for something like...50 years! For real! More on the Quo at WBA: https://t.co/r4DU9Bgd0U

A minute of walking. A minute at the roulette wheel. That's what you get on #TheStatusQuo's video for "Ice in the Sun." https://t.co/Y3wye6fPUu #StatusQuo

Philly's Juvenairs became Juniors...'the bop' turned into 'the hop' and soon the fans...and dancers...fell in line! The youthful quartet celebrated dance music...and insisted rock was here to stay...and they were right. WBA has more on #DannyandtheJuniors: https://t.co/nyijNIAj3R
