The Hit Parade Era - Fantasy Programming

I was never too good with lyrics but....

5 is "Get a Job".

My mind is too far gone for the others. ;D

It's also close to "Heartaches" by the Marcells

 

[RicoGregg]

The street corner sound of Doo-wopp is much more than who put the bomp in the bomp bomp bomp bomp bomp

Never mind that. Who put the eight great tomatoes in every can of Contadina?

Hornet, You're good on 1,2,3,5, and 7. Try again on 6 and 8. 4 is a real teaser, do you need a hint?

 

[hornet61]

I need a hint on all three.........

 

[GridLeakBias]

I need a hint on all three.........

Hint for the #4 teaser:
The group name: a drink (think adult beverage)
The record label: Duke-Peacock Records, subsidiary of “Backbeat”
The nonsense chant is not predominant, it is covered by the lead vocal, but is clearly there if you listen for it, and it is very prominent on the closing fadeout.

Hint for #6:
R&R was all about love and teenagers in the 50s.

Hint for #8:
Group: An all white quintet from New York. Uptempo, said to be fastest doowop on record.
Opens with a manic multisyllabic bass intro; followed by falsetto lead and rhythmic background vocals, and a strong sax break.
