Ace Collins

By the way, what is really interesting is two songwriters would later write one of the big Christmas hits.

Jingle Bell Rock.

And when they wrote that song, they wrote it about riding in a one-horse open sleigh.

They did not write a rock and roll song.

When it was recorded, everyone assumed, because of when it came out and Bobby Helms recorded it in 1957, that it was a rock and roll song.

It wasn't.

If you listen to the lyrics, it's about riding in a one-horse sleigh.

And the rocking along is the feel of riding in that sleigh as those

crude shock absorbers those sleighs had, those springs bounced you up and down.

Have a wonderful holiday season.
