Rock and roll

Rock and roll (often written as rock & roll or rock 'n' roll) is a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s, from a combination of African-American genres such as blues, boogie woogie, jump blues, jazz, and gospel music, together with Western swing and country music. Though elements of rock and roll can be heard in blues records from the 1920s and in country records of the 1930s, the genre did not acquire its name until the 1950s.

"Rock and roll" can refer either to the first wave of music that originated in the US in the 1950s prior to its development into "rock music", or more broadly to rock music and culture. For the purpose of differentiation, this article deals with the first definition.

In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum. Classic rock and roll is usually played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. Beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and on television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. In addition, rock and roll may have contributed to the civil rights movement because both African-American and white American teens enjoyed the music. It went on to spawn various genres, often without the initially characteristic backbeat, that are now more commonly called simply "rock music" or "rock".

Yeah
Oh
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Got to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bone
Huh
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, oh
Well, I told her mama and her papa, too
Just exactly what I'm gonna do
We're gonna get married on a night in June
Rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon
Well, yeah
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, hey
Huh hey, hey, hey
Well, she's my one and only, she's my hearts desire
She's a real up setter, she's a real live wire
Everybody's watching when my baby walks by
She's so good looking, really catches the eye
Huh oh
Yes
Let 'em in
Well, now I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Yeah, yeah, underneath the apple
Making love, yeah
Making love, making love, harder
Harder, harder, harder oh baby
