Other hits for the Coasters was "Searching ","Yakety-Yak"(1959),"Down in Mexico "(1958),"Poison Ivy"(1959).

[@Pixiesmom]

Soon glad someone finally did the Coasters. All their songs are great. Check out the Cadillacs too.

[@steelers6titles]

Gonna find her.

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

Definitely good songs )

[@steelers6titles]

@@Pixiesmom They often call me Speedo but my real name is Mister Earl.

[@stephanieclark9849]

This song came out in 1959 and it was a top 10 hit. With their hair, the high quiff-pompadour greased-up style or slicked-back style was a lot of pomade to get that look. This is my Dad's favorite music so we grew up with it in the house. I never really appreciated it at the time but I do now.

[@skinheadjon901]

In England we call that haircut a "D.A." (ducks arse,as that's what it resembles from behind)

[@sissybushnell7959]

I also grew up with this music and still sing all the old songs

[@bwilliams463]

The Coasters had quite a few hits in the 50s and 60s; another one of their popular tunes was 'Yakety Yak.' Another group you might look into is the Orlons; two of their hits were 'Don't Hang Up' and 'Meet Me On South Street.'

[@54nomore]

These guys had a lot of hits during the 1950's that were so popular their songs appear in movies throughout the years. Besides their Hugh hit "Charlie Brown (1959). They also top the charts with these other hits you should react to. "Poison Ivy (1953), "Yakety Yak" (1958), "Life could be a Dream", "Along Came Jones", "Little Egypt", "Love Potion Number 9", "Smokey Joes Cafe", "Searchin", "Down in Mexico" (1956). Note: Mel, the hair style of the slick down hair by Black American Men during the 40's and 50's was called "A Marcel." Great reaction as always.

[@tinakeith5822]

Dick Clark!!! Man he looked so young! RIP Dick Clark!!!

[@EdwardVodika]

My dad took me to a show in '73 that feature all the great acts of the fifties, I got to see the Coasters , The drifters , The temptations, and Sam the Sham and alot others. Best show ever.

[@neilsoulman]

saw them mid 70's in a similar 50's reunion tour, around the time happy days was crushing it on the network, they were still on point, remember it well

[@EdwardVodika]

@@neilsoulman yes that was the tour I saw. fantastic music and entertainment.

[@kirpalite]

This was the most fun group of their time! Thank you for the reaction.

[@davisworth5114]

The Coasters hit when I was in junior high, do a deep dive on their hits, Poison Ivy, Searchin', Love Potion #9, Little Egypt, you can't die without hearing these Top 40 radio classics, then go back and get The Ink Spots, "My Echo, My Shadow, and Me" love your personalities and your good vibes.

[@jhonyermo]

I hope they do them ALL> Such great tunes

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

The Charlie Brown of the Coasters has nothing to do with the Charlie Brown comic by Charles Schultz. They just share a common name. The dance is called "The Charleston" and was most popular during the 1920s.

[@helgar791]

I saw the Coasters back in the early 60's. My favorites by them were "Searchin'", "Yakety Yak", and "Poison Ivy". The type of style you see here of straightening your hair used by black men from the 20's to the 60's was called "conk" or "conking" because people used a cream called "Congolene". The announcer you see here is Dick Clarke and it's from the old American Bandstand. Dick later went on to produce "New Years Rockin' Eve" which we still see every New Years Eve. Dick was also a good friend of the great Jackie Wilson, whose "To Be Loved", the live version from The Ed Sullivan show I've recommended a couple of times to you. When Jackie had a heart attack on stage and was in a coma for 8 years Dick helped defray some of hospital costs, as did Elvis Presley.

[@joepowell7025]

Great music from the 50's

[@djpaul146]

Thank you for posting this classic tune Watch the stereo mix of this same video

[@stevewhitaker1474]

Came out in the late 50s; great group; great music.

[@ptournas]

My favorite song on the radio back in 1959. I was eleven years old.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

"Who calls the English teacher Daddy-O?" Love this song!

[@ralphgomez6251]

Listen to The Drifters sing "Up on the Roof ".

[@9284vr]

Most of the hits of the Coasters would be called novelty songs...WHY do we not have any novelty songs/groups in 2021?? Instead we have rap crap.

[@craigreid7178]

The Coasters had a number of "novelty style" hits like this and many other more straight ahead ones too. Those hair styles were all the rage at the time - the high pompadour with lots of Brylcreem or Vitalis to slick it all back.

[@ShadowHawk4219]

LOL, Brylcream and Vitalis , i remember those names from back in the early 60's, along with Wildroot.

[@savannahbos6343]

Oh my goodness I just came across your Channel and this is my type of channel...I am sitting here listen to the older music that I grew up with... and I'm thinking wow!!! there's nothing like taking a trip down memory lane.... definitely brought back some great memories thank you for sharing

[@susanbradley5685]

My dad had an album collection with the Coasters, the Platters, Jan & Dean, Ray Charles, Chyck Berry, and so many others. Lol...for giggles, react to Chuck Berry's song "My Ding-a-Ling".

[@lawrencekelli]

Love love the Coasters! I have since my mid teens in the 80's..lol. Love potion number 9.

[@jennifursun3303]

one of my favs Loved the Coasters drummer and the late Mike Stoler who co wrote this song played piano

[@FUBAR1986]

Yes Yakety yak love the deep voice sooo much fun

[@deelawson4551]

Love The Coasters! They had so many great songs but my favorite one was Little Egypt..my mom and dad would play this for me and my brothers and we loved it esp.at the end and if you hear you will be able to tell that any child would love that part :) Keep On Rockin'

[@m2more]

Poison Ivy by them is one of my all time favorites!

[@patticrichton1135]

Song came out in 1959, I was 12 years old then. The dance that one of the Coasters was doing was actually "the CHARLESTON" which was a popular dance in the 1920s!

[@quixote6942]

The Coasters were doing "The Carlton" back in the FIFTIES! hehehe

[@starleemartin1961]

This is the song you shout the lyrics to while driving. Makes the drive a whole lot more fun! Lol.

[@jesse7603]

I saw these guys perform in a club in my small town in south Texas. They were Great!!

[@JettRink-b8k]

thank you for this reaction video 😊

[@karlmay1949]

Coasters are a brilliant band. It was1959 slicked backed hair which was always styled as DA and quiff in the uk, but also termed as bouffant. Normally we'd use tough grease pomade like Black & white or Dax. Blue magic was another but not as tough, but more hold than brylcreem. Rock 'n' Roll forever!

[@sharonglover7221]

We had so much fun with this song!!!!!!

[@carollittle1059]

Saw them a couple of years ago at live Doo Wop show.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

saw these guys live with the drifters and the platters, and when they went through the crowd i got to shake the bass singers hand, and i swear it was twice the size of mine!

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

Mel, The Coasters were a hit in the late 1950's. The hair on men was called a Pompadore!

[@carlajeangilliland70]

Hey it's the 78 soon to be 79 year old grandma, that hair style was called an Afro, very popular back in the 1960's. Got to see these guys live at the Garden of Allah bar in Fremont California back in the early 1960's.They were so good.

You’re gonna love their “Yakety Yak”

[@MzBettyK]

That hairstyle was called A PROCESS. 😅 That was prior to relaxers. Your reactions were too cute. 😂 I loved this. Again, we had to dance really fast to this. I’m a great grandma at 78: 2 children, 4 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren. This song was popular when I was in high school we had Sock Hops dances on some Fridays at school.

[@DiscoDee74]

I’m so glad my parents played all this music when I was growing up!

[@ajruther67]

The Coasters song; Yakety Yak, Poison Ivy, Little Egypt.

[@matthewgibbs1366]

Pompadour! Sharp looking cats.

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

Their hairstyle is called a Pompadour and the Elvis image directly behind you has one on his head too.

[@zinarhone7642]

Love these songs that tell a story. Check out the Cadillacs singing Speedo.That hairstyle was called the chonk.

[@hazlett1927]

The guy introducing the Coaster is/was Dick Clark, on American Bandstand. Students would run home, or in my case to the pool hall to watch it.

[@USMC-dm3ws]

My granny and dad said this and beach music is what truly desegregated the Southeast during the ‘50’s & ‘60’s. My granny said it was the first time she saw colored and whites dancing together and it did her heart some good. She was born in 1911 so it was a much different time!

[@jamiegoudeau6685]

the one doing the dance looks alot like the carlton, wonder if thats where he got it from????

[@martypringle9201]

The dance was actually from, and popular in, the 1920s and was called 'The Charleston'.

[@robertdanyus6836]

the slapstick comedy bumping the 3 heads together or slapping all 3 at the same time are classic 3 stooges comedy routine

Since you heard Charlie Brown now you need to hear one of his dog, Snoopy. By the Royal Guardsmen.

[@w.p8960]

Dad nicked named my brother “Charley Brown” and bugged him to death with this song.

[@ivarwinter3049]

1950's when Charles Shultz began taking his newspaper carton to animated, this song came out as part of the promo and gained a life of its own.

[@hockemeyer1]

50s music usually had heavy sax.

[@berlintpke6909]

What a group

[@julienielsen4462]

If you watch the show Happy Days in the first seasons they always played this song.

[@stewartmatthews1551]

Oh man yes

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Yakety Yak is another popular one. It was also done by Sha Na Na who does a lot of covers. Get A Job, Witch Doctor, Boney Maroney are fun. Awesome reaction guys.

[@rosaliewhite4185]

Dance is called the jitterbug

[@CHICHI-hi2pn]

Would love to see you react to a late 50's song which was #1 here in the states as well as England. It's Only Make Believe by Conway Twitty, who later became a great country singer.

[@theresagallagher9161]

The hair style was called a pompadour. The back of the hair was slicked back from the sides to meet in the middle of the back of the head. Then if the front was long enough to pull down over the forehead it was calle a duck tail.

[@TheOriginalRick]

Another Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller hit song. Two young Jewish men wrote many of the smash hits by the black artists during the 50s and early 60s. They also wrote many hits for Elvis, and other artists. So much so, that 50 years later they could do a complete Broadway play featuring nothing but their songs -- Smoky's Joe Cafe. Incredibly gifted song writers who were responsible for much of the soundtrack of the Boomer's radio listening.

[@debjorgo]

The Beatles used to cover songs by the Coasters. Young Blood, Searchin', and Three Cool Cats.

[@highpath4776]

Three Cool Cats reminds me of Louis Jordan tracks

[@tomheinrichs7058]

I can’t help it. I know it leaps into another era and Artist. However, every time I hear this song I think about Bad Bad Leroy Brown By Jim Croce It’s got to be the last name and the way they are both portrayed as “seedy”.

[@lormatos4694]

The Coasters had a song called Zoom went the strings of my heart that you should react to.

[@highpath4776]

Zing went the strings of my heart . (covered later in the UK by Darts, and the Move (with Bullfrog Bevan doing the low bit !)

[@neilsoulman]

excellent choice , "yes they are" but, imho their best work was the stuff they did earlier on when they were known as" the Robins," the reason they were called "the coasters" when they changed labels supposedly cause they went from one coast to the other coast.

[@naturesounds-ib5dh]

Down in Mexico is a different sound for them, worth a listen
