The teens of the fifties had many role models. Some
of them were known as "hip", "groovy", or "cool". Some of the teen idols were Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darin, Fabian, Ricky
Nelson, Paul Anka, and Bobby Rydell. Below are some of their famous sayings.
- Frankie Avalon - If a miss
wants to be kissed instead of cuddled, And to this you are in doubt as what to say, When a girl changes from bobby socks
to stockings, Then she is old enough to give her heart away.
- Bobby Darin - There was lollipop
with-a Peggy Sue, Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too! A-well-a Splish Splash, I forgot to about the bath I went
and put my dancin'’ shoes on, yay...
- Fabian - Turn me loose, Turn
me lose, I say. Gonna rock and roll As long as the band's gonna play
- Bobby Rydell - Forget him,
If he doesn't love you. Forget him, If he doesn't care...
- Ricky Nelson - Some people
call me a teenage idol, Some people say they envy me. I guess they got no way of knowing how lonesome I can be.
- Paul
Anka - And they call it Puppy Love just because we're seventeen. Tell them all, oh, please tell them it isn't fair to
take away my only dream.
