THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDER TO FIND CREW CUTS 78s RELEASED IN THE UK

DON'T BE ANGRY  

b/w   CHOP CHOP BOOM

The Crew-Cuts were a Canadian vocal quartet, that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide. They named themselves after the then popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. They were most famous for their recording of a cover version of The Chords, hit record, "Sh-Boom" and their version of the Penguins "Earth Angel"

This is two of their harder to find sides - both really typical of the era!!

"DON'T BE ANGRY"  - A COVER OF THE GREAT NAPPY BROWN CLASSIC

b/w "CHOP CHOP BOOM"  -  A COVER OF THE DANDELIERS SONG

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Well now my baby's always singin' that chop chop boom
Man I can't stand it, gonna leave here soon
The confounded noise, I can't take it no more
Gonna get my hat and hit the door

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
I had a talk with my baby just to try and find out
Just what that choppin' noise was all about
My baby couldn't tell me but this she said
You know it always reminds me of an achin' head

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Well when we go walkin' like two folks should
Just about the time that I'm feelin good
She meets a friend she calls a Daisy Mae
They'll get together and you'll hear them say

Musical interlude

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Its so sad on her mind, on her mind all the time

Chop chop boom
I didn't know the lady would take my place
But that was until she met a cat named Ace
Still I didn't know she was doin' me wrong
'Til they started hummin' that song

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Well my baby's gone and left me and I think I know why
I'll bet that cat Ace done told her a lie
Now they're goin on hummin' that tune
And I'm left here with that chop chop boom

Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Chop chop boom
Chop Chop
