Love is Strange- Mickey & Sylvia on the Steve Allen Show
This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #Connections.
During the late 1950s, it was quite common to have references to current hit records in the lyrics of new songs. In some extreme cases, the lyrics were almost totally constructed of other song titles. These are the first five examples of this that came into my mind:
Larry Williams: Short Fat Fannie (1957)

Mickey & Sylvia: Can't Get You On The Phone (1958)
