6278. The Cheers - Black Denim Trousers And Motorcycle Boots
From: Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots ; Year: 1955; Genre: Rock 'n Roll/Pop This is one of the earlier "teenage tragedy" songs that would permeate the late '50 through the mid '60s in American popular culture. Whilst it tells the tale of death and grieving, by the music you wouldn't really guess it. It has almost a comically circus quality of it; kind of like it was making a parody of itself and not until the last verse do you really feel the gravity of the tale and even then it's almost like: "He got killed by a train, ha! ha! ha!" sort of feel.
