Frankie Avalon personified cool I don't know you know imma keep on going without this guy not being around I love him so much as a gingerbread cool to the tea cools the Cucumber Frankie I love you God bless your family keep doing it love you Frankie
Hardly...in the 50s, this was a cute...fun song and it still IS...
Just wish they had mastered it in stereo, like his later songs (like Venus for example)...There was two songs Frankie "held his nose" (on purpose of course) while singing to make his voice sound more nasal, Dedee Dinah and this one (Gingerbread)...
I heard the middle lead guitar solo in this as a kid in 1958 and asked my Dad what that was. He said "That's an electric guitar, Tommy." I have been playing guitar ever since and still support my family as a musician. Thanks to this record ;)
i swear to God, when I heard this for the first time a few weeks ago i thought he sounded like Lou Reed did on some of his songs, or the other way around maybe, are there any Lou Reed fans out there who feel the same way?
I sing this to my little dog Lola. She loves it. She gets all excited, runs around and acts silly. We have a great time together. Thank you Frankie Avalon.
