Crucial Track for October 8, 2025

"Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets

Listen on Apple Music

A song from the 1950s that you like or means something to you.

This song means a lot to me because it was used repeatedly when I was learning how to swing dance. I had no rhythm so I had to learn the anticipate the beats in the music. For someone learning, having a regular beat is very, very important.

Even now, I do not actually hear the words when this song plays. I hear 1 and 2, 3 and 4.
