At The Hop by Danny and the Juniors

"At The Hop" was perhaps the defining signature song of the late 1950s. Preformed by the previously unknown group, "Danny and the Juniors", it went straight to the top of the charts. Danny and the Juniors had a few minor hits after that, but never made number one again. Their lead singer, Danny Rapp, committed suicide in 1983.

Here are the lyrics:

Bah-bah-bah-bah,
bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah.
bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!

Well, you can rock it you can roll it,
You can stop and you can stroll it at
the hop. When the record starts
spinnin', you *chalypso* when you
chicken at the hop. Do the dance
sensation that is sweepin' the nation
at the hop.

Ah, let's go to the hop. Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop,
(oh baby) Let's go to the hop. Come
on, let's go to the hop. Well, you can
swing it you can groove it you can
really start to move it at the hop.
Where the jockey is the smoothest and
the music is the coolest at the hop. All
the cats and chicks can get their kicks
at the hop.

Let's go! Let's go to the hop. Let's go
to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop,
come on, let's go to the hop, Let's go!
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
you can stop and you can stroll it at
the hop. When the record starts
spinnin' you *chalypso* when you
chicken at the hop. Do the dance
sensation that is sweepin' the nation
at the hop,

You can swing it you can groove it
you can really start to move it at the
hop. Where the jockey is the
smoothest and the music is the coolest
at the hop. All the cats and chicks can
get their kicks at the hop.

Let's go! Let's go to the hop. Let's go
to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop,
come on, let's go to the hop.
Bah-bah-bah-bah,
bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah.
bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
