@highstreetrock: Released in 1957, “Wake Up Little Susie” is a rock-and-roll classic by the Everly Brothers, written by Boudleaux Bryant, that tells a funny, slightly panicked story about a young couple who nod off at the movies and wake up way past curfew. With its irresistible melody, tight harmonies, and very real teenage anxiety, the song became a huge hit and helped define the Everlys’ signature sound. Even though a few radio stations briefly banned it after misreading the lyrics, it still shot to number one and stands today as a perfect snapshot of early rock music centered on teen life and feelings. #everlybrothers #wakeuplittlesusie #50smusic #fyp #oldies
