Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.
Continuing with the series of popular music through the decades which I began last fall, let's listen to what the 1950s had to offer -
1 - Mr. Sandman - The Chordettes
Mister Sandman
Bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips
Like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
- Pat Ballard
2 - Fever - Peggy Lee
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night
- Cooley / Davenport
3 - Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Kiss me baby
Feels good
Hold me baby
Let me love you like a lover should
You're fine
So kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine
- Blackwell / Hammer
The song begins at the 1:43 mark.
4 - One For My Baby, and One More For the Road - Frank Sinatra
You'd never know it
But buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I want to say
And if I'm gloomy
Please listen to me
Till it's all, all talked away
- Arlen / Mercer
5 - Poison Ivy - The Coasters
You can look
But you better not touch
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes creeping
Around
- Leiber / Stoller

Ooh, what a trip down memory lane, I knew all of these (and wasn't even born until 1959)! Great selection, thanks for making me smile.
Oh wow! This was a FABULOUS collection of songs. I really enjoyed your set!
Hard choices but I'm going to pick "Fever" as my 50's favorite for this week!
Ah, they don't make songs like they used to!
That was a fun revisit of the late 50s music. I danced to all those songs.
Love all your choices today Julia. :)
Definitely classics. All of them. I especially have always liked Mr. Sandman.
I am such a fan of 50s music. It was music from my mom's teen years. I loved learning about it from playing all her old records.
Oh wow does this bring back some memories. These were some of my favorite songs of long ago. Thanks for sharing these.
Love and Blessings,
