"Rock around the clock", di Bill Haley and his Comets (1953) è un classico che è ormai entrato a far parte della storia della musica, anzi, si dice anche che il rock 'n' roll sia nato proprio con questa canzone, ed in seguito reso popolare da artisti come Elvis Presley, Little Richard ("Lucille"), Chuck Berry ("Johnny B. Goode"), Eddie Cochran ("C'mon everybody"), Gene Vincent ("Be bop a lula"), Jerry Lee Lewis ("Great balls of fire"), Buddy Holly ("Peggie Sue") e tanti altri.
Dello stesso Bill Haley ricorderei anche "See You Later Alligator", "Shake Rattle & Roll" e "Razzle Dazzle".
Ecco il testo di "Rock around the clock"
One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
Start a rockin' round the clock again.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.
