"Rock Around The Clock" war die erste echte Rock-&-Roll-Single, die eine Nummer-1-Position in den amerikanischen Charts erreichte. Sie stand 1955 acht Wochen auf Platz 1 und hielt sich sechs Monate in den Charts. Mit dem Song startete die moderne Popmusik: 

 

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock

Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clcok, rock

Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

 

Put your glad rags on, 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, we're gonna rock around the clock tonight

 

When the clock strikes two, three and four

If the bands 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, we're 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, we're gonna rock around the clock tonight

 

Oh, 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, we're gonna rock around the clock tonight

 

When the clock strikes twelve we'll cool off then

Start 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, we're gonna rock around the clock tonight
