SCAMMED Fans for 50 Yrs That He SANG This #1 HIT Till Own OBITUARY EXPOSED His LIE-Professor of Rock
11,284Coming up…Some massive hits with unbelievable stories, including the story of Elvis, who had to record a cheesy middle section in “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” that was so bad he had to do two dozen takes because he would burst out in laughter. The song went on to become a #1 smash. As well as the song I'm Sorry that was delivered by Brenda Lee, a remarkably mature 15-year-old who many scorned because they didn’t think a teenager should tackle such mature subject matter. Then there’s the #1 hit “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini” that a man claimed to have written for decades, it got him free drinks and fame, and the New York Times even said he wrote it in his obituary until the truth came out. He had just made the whole thing up. and finally a strange novelty song “Alley Oop” that was written in 10 minutes, that was recorded on the fly by random people hanging around the studio, including the Janitor. It’s a countdown you don’t want to miss next on Professor of Rock.

Also, check out our Podcast on Apple and Spotify. So we ended our countdown show in 1994. So we’ve gone from 1961 to 1994, covering the best top 40 hits of all of those years. So, for now, we finish the 60s with some classics from a great year.
1960 was the spark that set the decade’s revolution in motion—when iconic songs hit the airwaves and helped redefine culture, fashion, and fearless experimentation. 1960 had SOOOO many enduring songs that arrived at the moment the decade demanded a new sound: It was the start of what I consider the greatest decade of music.
We’re kicking off our countdown of the Top 10 Songs of 1960 with “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin at #10: What originated as the French song “La Mer” in 1946, written by Charles Trenet (tre-nay), wasn’t a love ballad at all. It praised the sea and gulls. Bobby Darin reimagined it, and rewrote it in English, brilliantly infusing longing and romance, and transformed “Beyond the Sea” into a completely new classic: Circa 1959, Bobby Darin was seen as a teen idol thanks to “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover.” Then he surprised everyone with “Beyond the Sea,” going full-on big-band jazz crooner. The gamble paid off—he proved he was more than a pop fad, a true artist. Darin idolized Frank Sinatra, and this record was his bold move into Sinatra’s lane.
Some critics even said his swagger and phrasing rivaled Sinatra at his peak; Sinatra reportedly bristled at the comparison, but Darin had arrived as a bona fide swing stylist: Bobby cut the track with a full orchestra. The final version, released in 60, moving to #6 on the Hot 100, was done in just 2 takes, showcasing his incredible vocal confidence at only 23 years of age. Even though Darin had many hits (Mack the Knife chief among them), “Beyond the Sea” became his signature ballad. Doctors predicted he wouldn’t live past his teens, but Darin made it to 37, passing away in 1973.
Our countdown of the Top 10 Songs of 1960 rolls on with Only the Lonely by Roy Orbison at #9: In an era of bright love anthems, “Only the Lonely” stood tall with operatic drama, high falsetto, and full orchestration. It birthed the “Orbison sound”—rock, opera, heartbreak all in one. The vocals soar to heavenly heights, and critics couldn’t resist calling it ‘otherworldly’. Elvis even dubbed Roy “the greatest singer” after he heard his recording of Only the Lonely. The lads from Liverpool were also admirers. Roy later toured with the Fab Four in 63, and George Harrison said songs like Only the Lonely shaped the Beatles' sense of drama
