High Street Hop - Richie and the High Street Rockers

High Street Hop - Richie and the High Street Rockers
2:25
Welcome to High Street, 2025
Written by Richie and the High Street Rockers

The first few lines seem to indicate a Springsteen-like ballad is starting, but then the song erupts into full-blown '50s doo-wop.  Suddenly we're in Grease or a Sha Na Na concert.  Lyrically, it's a blend of all the old dance-describing songs, with shades of "Old Time Rock & Roll," as the narrator describes his love for listening to records with "the lights way down" and dancing with no one around.  It's fun, it's catchy as hell, it's great throwback doo-wop rock.
