103 – Paul Anka – Put your head on my shoulder (1959)
Mais um clássico de Paul Anka, escrita por ele e lançada num compacto simples em 1959. Chegou ao numero 2 dos charts pops americanos.
Michael Bublé, que vem a ser um protegé de Paul Anka, gravou a música em 2003.
A letra:
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too
Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love
People say that love's a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it somebody
And then this fool with rush in
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too.
Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong,

101 – Chuck Berry – Memphis, Tennessee (1959)
Iniciamos o segundo lote de 100 canções que todos deverão conhecer pra entender de rock and roll. O primeiro lote tá bem fechadinho, então comecemos o segundo lote, que compreende o período entre 1959 até 1961, com esse clássico do rock chamado Memphis, Tennessee.
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

100 – Eddie Cochran - Twenty flight rock (1957)
A letra:
Oh well, I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone, I can hold her tight
But she lives in a twentiest floor up town
The elevator's broken down
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When she calles me up on the telephone
Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone
I said baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in the bed with a achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

99 – Chuck Berry - School days (1957)
Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul

Oh
Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to
dance
If it takes me all night and day
Climb
into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin' little
joint
Where
we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway
Not
so long a ride
You park your car out in the open
You
can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and
You
can thank her, ma'am
Every time you make the scene
You find the joint is jammed
Oh
Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to
dance
If it takes me all night and day
And if you want to hear some music
Like
the boys are playin'
Hold tight, pat your foot
Don't
let 'em carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome
You
when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you
When they get a crowd
You
can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby,
'cause you dance so good
Oh
Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to
dance
If it takes me all night and day
Don't
let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance
If
it takes you all night and day
Oh Carol
