R-O-C-K, rock?
Making R from an eight,
To the bar eighty-eight,
O from the tone of the sax syncopated,
C from the key of a six-string guitar,
K from the kick of a rim shot, baby.
That's how they played it,
That's how they made it,
R-O-C-K, rock.
I know my A's and my B's and my C's,
P's and my Q's and my X, Y, Z's,
Know how to lose,
All the blue, blue, blues,
Jump in a pair of my dancing shoes.
Take with my baby,
Rock with my baby,
R-O-C-K, rock.
Oh, Strauss discovered waltzes,
A handy man found the blues,
And here they came along,
With their rocking song,
Crazy, man, crazy, crazy news.
R is all the rock, hear the band,
It's a' moving,
O more than that, it's a go-go grooving,
C what I mean, it's a hot top action,
K like a kiss it's a cool attraction.
Who even get you,
I'm gonna bet you,
R-O-C-K, rock.
R-O-C-K, rock?
William John Clifton Haley, meglio conosciuto come Bill Haley (Detroit, 5 luglio 1925 – Londra, 9 febbraio 1981), è stato un cantante, musicista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del rock and roll. Fondatore della band Bill Haley and His Comets, ha portato il genere a una popolarità mondiale negli anni '50. Il suo stile energico, basato su blues, country e rhythm and blues, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti. Il brano più famoso di Haley è «Rock Around the Clock», pubblicato nel 1954 e diventato un inno del rock and roll. La canzone raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche americane e britanniche, contribuendo a definire l'immagine della cultura giovanile dell'epoca. Il successo di «Rock Around the Clock» fu amplificato dalla sua inclusione nella colonna sonora del film «Il seme della violenza» (1955) e dal suo utilizzo come sigla della sitcom «Happy Days» (dal 1974). Oltre a «Rock Around the Clock», altri brani rappresentativi di Haley includono «Shake, Rattle and Roll», «See You Later Alligator» e «I'm Gonna Love You Forever». Haley ha pubblicato numerosi album durante la sua carriera, tra cui «Bill Haley and His Comets» (1953) e «Rock Around the Clock» (1954). La sua eredità musicale è stata riconosciuta con l'inclusione nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1987.
