Hey all, I'm trying to compile a list of songs of a certain sound and feel. The upbeat hits of the 50s, and 60s. I'm personally enamored with the innocence and energy of post-war America and the music of the time; a simpler time when popular music didn't need to be diluted with personal or political agenda. A group of like-minded friends and I are compiling this list in order to take these songs and try to breath a little life back into them; throw a more modern, but still purely energetically joyful spin on them. Some of my personal favorites from the list we already have go as follows:

The Foundations-Build Me Up Buttercup
Ben E. King-Stand By Me
The Contours-Do You Love Me?
The Chordettes-Lollipop
The Penguins-Earth Angel
Four Aces-Mr. Sandman

We're looking for songs in the same vein as the ones listed above. So without further adieu let fly with your additions to the list.
