*The Coasters* - Charlie Brown

[@pearlharbor4790]

That solo dance was adorable..Such fun.

[@cherielangland6202]

Oh I love charlie brown why was he writing on the wall why was he pooping in the hall

[@thumbstruck]

It was "The Charleston".....

[@nickhall5959]

​@@thumbstruckno its a form of the twist, it's awesome

[@Mikewilkinson5969]

The way he says “why is everybody always picking on me?” Is hilarious.This song is one of the best and funniest songs I’ve ever heard

[@pilsudski36]

The Coasters were a fun band - great Sax player!

[@buddyroeginocchio9105]

King Curtis master of R&R Sessions

[@larbueno]

My Brother had this 45 and the saxophone was in many ways the guitar of the later 60s and into the 70s. Yakkity sax was a big deal back in the fifties and sixties...and I enjoy the nostalgia part of this era of music...but if I never heard the sax played that way again, that would be just fine with me!

[@russellregan4736]

I remember this song from my childhood in the 60s. We had it on a 45 memories 😊😊😊😊

[@Bigheadtalking]

The 60'S?!!

FIFTIES MUSIC 🎵🎶 IS INCREDIBLE!

[@emiliam.7441]

Poor Charlie Brown, a dunce cap! There is a politician in my area named Patrick Brown (mayor of Brampton, Canada), so I always joke "Patrick Brown, he's a clown."

[@petejones879]

The way the bigger lad started dancing cracked me up 😅

[@PearlGerm]

Those moves! Hot damn! Now, THAT'S dancing'!

[@LeonAllanDavis]

His name was Cornell Gunter. King Curtis was on tenor sax. Song by Lieber and Stroller. Back then that style of free dancing was done by girls in "juke joints". Cornell did it as a parody. Guys would mimic female dancers to get noticed by them. Girls would challenge them to a "dance-off". It was all great fun. And a great way to meet a nice girl.

[@tonyascarlett2413]

So well dressed and wholesome. So much talent

[@EmorySimsDrEmoryCarlSims]

I was five years old when this song came out. I remember this one because at five years old I road around with my dad in one of those old Ford woody stations wagons during the fifties. I am riding with him in the station wagon, my feet not touching the floor while this song was playing on the radio. I remember this one.

[@myyoutubepage199]

:O wow, i was not born yet :(

[@frdjr2527]

I had this 45 when it new. I was 7 in 1959.

[@jesusbeliever9876]

You have to admit, older music is better because it wasn't inappropriate at all. It was just enjoyable (I'm 16) God bless you

[@risupuffs-pv3pe]

i was 49 when this came out

[@Gato420.]

I remember this song from my kindergarten teacher picking it out for the boys and I to perform and lip sync to it. We brought the house down with this one! Core memory for sure!

[@Packguardian_gacha8684]

That sounds awesome man.

[@frdjr2527]

Way to go!

[@lenb7275]

Oh God ! That Guy Dancing @ 1:32 😂😂😂

[@kennethlaster4850]

Bout wore this one out when driving my '56 chevy hardtop back in 1965. Wow what a time to be alive!!!!!

[@paulsmith5398]

YES! 50s, and most 60s, some 70s music too❗All great to listen to❗

[@barbarajohnson8280]

A new puppy in the house named Charlie. We sing this song to him and he gets so excited! I was born in the 50’s -this is my generation of music!! Best ever

[@alex_harnar_618]

I grew up listening to this song along with tons of mid to late 1950’s songs at my grandparents house ever since I was a toddler. Sadly my grandfather is no longer alive, he passed away back in September unexpectedly to a stoke, but he introduced me to some great catchy timeless tunes. :’)

[@50sville]

Another great 50s classic from House Rockin' Channel 50s. Bravo!

[@ingodwetrust7648]

My 7th grade teacher who was a grandmother used to play this song all the time back in the mid 90s 😆

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Excellent, great talented group.

[@jeanheard4615]

Charlie Brown was used as the class clown who stayed in to trouble making everyone laugh love this song

[@terrencesmith1333]

[@Darkless4X]

I completely agree and it's before my time. I was born in 1983

[@phillipabramoff7374]

Farting for 5 minutes is better than today's music. Still, '50's music is one of the best and most creative eras for pop music ever.

[@umairashraf5167]

Yeah sure whatever

[@carolynking5470]

Thank you for putting this great video up. Like a real music video. I didn't know that anything like this was made back then. I mostly remember singers lip-synching to their songs on American Bandstand. Occasionally some rock on Ed Sullivan.

[@sdgakatbk]

This is so cool!! I love the video in this, including the dancing.

[@brucedalwin2184]

Dick Clarke called this era of popular music the finest ever recorded with the 40’s sound close.

[@caleypollock4931]

My grandma: play that one song, the song that's like "why's everybody always pickin on me" name after that one show Me: charlie brown? My grandma: YES *I start playing it and she starts dancing all over the place"

[@aztecgaming7287]

Omg is this for real??! She sounds so cuteee 😂

[@gunier.j.kintgenanimations]

Fun Fact: at 0:59 when a group of kids say "Yeah, You!", It's not children; But the coasters at half speed! Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Will "Dub" Jones, & Cornell Gunter recorded that part of the song normally, but played it back at 2x speed, To make themselves sound younger. Ain't that something!

[@dejus_e]

I thought that was obvious.

[@FoxyFernAnimation]

Um yeah that’s pretty obvious. But also, I think you mean double speed. Half speed would make their voices sound deeper and slower.

[@joeobrien3278]

Went to No.2 on The Billboard Charts in early 1959,written and produced by the legendary Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller who are called the Gilbert and Sullivan of Rock and Roll.They wrote "Hound Dog" and Jailhouse Rock" for Elvis Presley and "Ruby Baby" for Dion and many others.The Coasters were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

[@laminage]

Another one of their Songs was "Searchin'" that Paul McCartney loved listening to as a Kid. Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller also wrote "Stand By Me" along with Ben E. King that was played at Harry & Megan's Wedding and is now part of Music History.

[@stevelaw7776]

How are you doing well

[@volt8ge]

I think they wrote hound dog for big mama Thornton first 🤔

[@joeobrien3278]

You're exactly right, Big Mama Thornton recorded it first @@volt8ge

[@dennisclarrett4677]

There was a short-lived TV show, Gung Ho, which had three or four of the factory managers singing this, along with a few dance steps. It was hilarious!

I remember listening to this song a lot at my aunts house when I was really young. I didn't remember much of it just the "Who's been snooping in the halls" , "Charlie Brown" but a quick google search helped me find this. Very nostalgic and Idk if I like the song as much now but its an interesting memory

[@scottnilson9901]

Best song ever!

[@butterflykisses1412]

Lol I was watching the Temptations medley today, and they performed this song! Iol it was cute and funny but I didn't know that The Coasters were the original composers.

[@belynda1224]

You’re living under a rock. I recommend modern songwriters like Liana Flores and Mitski (they do singer-songwriter and alternative rock, respectively), or maybe other artists like Will Wood or The Crane Wives. They actually have skill and make meaningful lyrics and don’t need autotune. Today’s trending genres are trash, I know. This is coming from me, a Gen Z. I promise that you just need to dig a little deeper.
