I don't really know any 50s songs, my parents were born in the 1950s. The pub jukebox has lots of oldies so there must be a few 50s hits on it. I've heard "Carol", "Diana", Long Tall Sally", "At The Hop", "It's Only Make Believe" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" but I wouldn't have known what years they were hits. I like the title "If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d’ve Baked A Cake" but I haven't heard the song.

@Gusman I didn't know they had shoes like that in 1950.
