This Day in History
  As the World Turns Premieres (1956)Soap operas began in the early 1930s as 15-minute radio episodes and continued in that format when they began appearing on TV in the early 1950s.

The show, which primarily focused on two professional families in the fictional town of Oakdale, Illinois, ran for 54 years and aired nearly 14,000 episodes. For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

I love that song. Do you have any idea what year this was? I found it interesting that all the guys singing as well as the guys in the audience had on dress shirts and ties. Can you imagine high school boys wearing ties out in public now? I like things a little more casual than they were then but am appalled and dismayed when I see how people dress for church and places like funerals now. I can remember Mother (and Sandy and I) wearing gloves to church and Mother even wore hats. I think it shows a lack of respect for yourself and for the occasion to dress so sloppily. I can't say I miss girdles and petticoats though!
It came out in '58, but the tune got more interest from being on the soundtrack of American Graffiti in '73.
When I worked at the liquor store, a big old gal came in to apply for a job wearing shorts so tight they showed a cameltoe long before I knew what one was called and so short her butt cheeks actually hung out. To top that off, she was wearing a men's white wifebeater undershirt...w/out a bra. I know she HAD to have applied only to satisfy the requirement for unemployment.
