The Rover Boys - Trio Stop That Boogie!

Did you know? The song "Stop That Boogie" by The Rover Boys Trio is about the efforts in the 1950s to stop the influence of rock and roll (and the civil rights movement) on the nation's youth? The lyrics refer to the segregation of audiences at concerts, the induction of Elvis into the US Army, the rise in popularity of artists like Frankie Avalon and Bobby Rydell, and rock and roll's role in fighting racism and Jim Crow laws. Even the yell at the solo, “Let’s cause some good kind of trouble now” is a nod to the great civil rights leader John Lewis.
