The Chords - Sh-Boom [Full HD - 1080p]

The Chords
were a 1950s American doo wop group, whose only hit was "Sh-Boom".
The Chords, a 1950s US doo-wop group - Carl (lead) and Claude Feaster (baritone), Jimmy Keyes (first tenor), Floyd "Buddy" McRae (second tenor) and Ricky Edwards (bass) - formed in 1951 in the Bronx, New York, but were not discovered until three years later, when they were spotted singing in a subway station, a performance that ultimately landed them a recording contract with Atlantic Records' Cat Records label.

"Sh-Boom"
(sometimes referred to as "Life Could Be a Dream") is an early doo-wop song. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and James Edwards, members of the R&B vocal group The Chords and published in 1954. It was a U.S. top ten hit that year for both The Chords (who first recorded the song) and The Crew-Cuts.

This would've been cool on K-Rose radio for GTA San Andreas!

The 1900s century was a great time for the music industry.

I still remember this song being played in Disney/Pixar's Cars. MY GOSH, I STILL remember seeing the lights turn on within Radiator Springs as this song plays in the background. 😊☺️☺️💙

2012 but it somehow is the highest quality recording of this song that I can find online. Remarkable.

My dad would was play this during house parties. Brings back so many memories. He loved Doo-Wop and left me his collection of records. I miss those days with him

[chefbrad]

They dont make music like this anymore. Love the sax. Doo wop at its purest form

This Song Reminds Me Of Radiator Springs!

Life could be a dream
Life could be a dream
Do do do do, sh-boom

Life could be a dream (Sh-boom)
If I could take you up in paradise up above (Sh-boom)
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Hello, hello again
Sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again
Boom (Ba-boom)

Day dong da ding-dong
A-lang-da-lang-da-lang
Ah, whoa, whoa, bip
Ah bi-ba-do-da-dip, whoa

Life could be a dream (Sh-boom)
If only all my precious plans would come true (Sh-boom)
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
(Do do do do, sh-boom)

Every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so fine

Oh, life could be a dream, sh-boom
If I could take you up in paradise up above, sh-boom
You'd tell me, darlin', I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again, boom (Ba-boom)

Day dong da ding-dong
A-lang-da-lang-da-lang
Ah, whoa, whoa, bip
Ah bi-ba-do-da-dip, whoa

Life could be a dream
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)
(Do do do do, sh-boom)

Woah, life could be a dream, sh-boom
If I could take you up in paradise up above, sh-boom
You'd tell me, darlin', I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again, boom (Ba-boom)

Day dong da ding-dong

Whoa, whoa, bip
Ah bo da do da dip, whoa
Life could be a dream, life could be a dream
Do do do do, sh-boom

[lujofresh]

A funny video with a pug dancing brought me here....beat that like seekers

[dustee]

I remember watching the Chords on TV one day in the 70's and they were saying how 'Sh-Boom' was a slang term that the kids used in New York back in the 50's.

[vagabundos]

Absolutely addicted to this ... It's killing me, especially my personal time. Can't stop... Anyone else has the same problem.?🤘👌😎😁

[justacynic]

Screw the Crew-Cuts. *This* is how to sing this song.

[Ceogr]

I like the chords version so much more than the other version

[joseluisvidal]

cars, Ruta 66 Radiadores excellent, Wonderfull, thanks very much😀.

[monstersabre]

Добре какъв беше шанса да намеря тази песен и да я е пуснал българин 😂
Thanks man it's going to the playlist!

[ITSMAIAJENKINS]

this song and moment in cars makes me so happy

[AD-iwvy]

8 people are just sad that Stanley isn't here to see this.

This is the ONLY way you should be hearing this song.  There, I said it!!  This record is one of the first times the world would hear Rock and Roll up close.  It is all intricate and growly and bass-heavy and perfect in pretty much every way.  The record is sung by a doo-wop group who means every syllable of what they sing.  If you profess to love this genre, start here.
