Queen Of the Hop - Bobby Darin (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Queen Of the Hop (Bobby Darin, 1958). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-07-28. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Queen Of the Hop," written by Woody Harris, was Bobby Darin's second top 10 hit landing at the #9 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1958 (Whitburn, 2013). Born Walden Robert Cassotto in 1966 (imdb, 2022), was nicknamed Bobby growing up and chose his pseudonym last name by adapting actor Darren McGavin's name (E. Linn, Saturday Evening Post, May 6, 1961). As a youngster, Darin had to deal with a number of bouts of rheumatic fever that negatively affected his heart; which eventually led to his early death, at 37, on December 20, 1973 while having open heart surgery (biography, 2017). He donated his body to the University of California for research (New York Times, Dec. 21, 1973, p. 38).

Lyrics:
Well, you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue
You can keep your Miss Molly and your Mary Lou
When it comes to the chicken or doin' the bop?
I got a girl they call the queen of the hop
Oh well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Well, she wears short shorts and a rock 'n roll shoes
You ought to see her dance to the yellow dog blues
She's my sugar time baby, I'm her lollipop,
An' everybody knows I love my queen of de hop
Oh well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Oh well she tunes in to Bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA
She don't care 'bout a thing 'ceptin rock 'n roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll yeah
Well she tunes in to Bandstand every day
To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA
She don't care 'bout a thing 'ceptin' rock and roll
My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll
Oh well I love my queen
Do you know who I mean?
Sweet little sixteen
Yes, that's my queen
Well, that's my queen
Yes, that's my queen
Oh, well that's my queen
Yes, that's my queen
