- Alan Freeman: Hi there, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome once again to our weekly show. Something old, Something new. And first tonight, something new from Gene Vincent and "A Spaceship to Mars."
- Gene Vincent: [singing] I want to get you on a spaceship to Mars, And hold you and I'll squeeze you as we fly through the stars, But when I think of those light years we can spend alone, zooming through the atmosphere from zone to zone, But I tell you honey, life can be sunny, cause you're mine, all mine...
- T.V. Director: The important thing to remember is that this is an entirely spontaneous and completely unrehearsed program. Right. Give them their scripts.
- Mayor: We are gathered here to consider a matter of grave importance to the governing of our fair community. The teenagers of this new town are disrupting its peace, its serenity, its calm, and graceful dignity, with the wild, the furious, the frantic music which they play constantly.
- Alan Freeman: The initials B.B. could stand for Brigitte Bardot; but, tonight, they stand for Brook Brothers. Brook Brothers means two. Two means a double. And here are the Brook Brothers and "Double Trouble."
- Themselves: [singing] Fire burning... Oh, I'm in Double Trouble, Now pretty little Lucy is the Queen of the Hop, But she's a dream when she's out on the floor, But Lindy Lou can put the jest in you, like you never ever jested before, Double trouble, I don't know what to do, Cause I'm in love with pretty little Lucy, But I'm mad about Lindy Lou...
- David Jacobs: Now let's keep our Hit Parade parading in front of you and introduce you to somebody whose apparently having great success in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Ladies and gentlemen, Del Shannon!
- Del Shannon: [singing] I went down to the railroad station, a-honey, Overheard a conversation, a-honey, You were talkin' to a guy named Jim, And the things that you were tellin' him, You talked and talked so endlessly, Tears filled my eyes, I couldn't see, 'Cause you never talked about me, a-honey, About me! A-honey...
- Bob Wallis: [singing] Oh hear jazz, now a fad, down in Italy, You can hear it from Venice to Napoli, Its goodbye to the opera and symphony, When the jazz band starts to play. How they cheer when they hear it fortissimo, How they dance and romance when pianissimo, Every boy gives a girl a little kissimo, Oh, Bellissima, Ah, Bellissima!
- Chubby Checker: [singing] Come on! Beat your feet! Come on! Shake that shake! Come on! Flip your hip! Come on! Make that break! Fly - so high! Baby, sky high we'll go, Why - be shy? Throw away your ego...
- David Jacobs: We're really going to have a swinging time. We're going to swing our first with a gentleman who's good time used to be a quarter to three, but, right now, anytime is a good time to meet with Gary U.S. Bonds!
- Gary U.S. Bonds: [singing] Well, I wish that I could have myself a seven day weekend, Tired of sitting on the shelf until the weekend, Friday after school I pick my baby up, We dance and party till Sunday night, That's the only time I get to hold my baby tight...
- David Jacobs: I think we ought to find out about these people here this evening. They all look as though they're having a good time. Let's just make absolutely sure that they are. Excuse me, do you have any inhibitions?
- Clique Club Patron: Any what?
- David Jacobs: Ah, well, whether she has any or not, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, you're going to now find a gentleman whose going to teach you how to lose them completely with the "Lose Your Inhibition Twist" - Mr. Chubby Checker!
- Chubby Checker: [singing] Hey girl, let's whirl! Come on, let your hair down, Child, go wild! Lose your blues and cares now. I insist! Do the shake your intuition, Break your opposition, Lose Your Inhibition Twist!
- Craig: [singing] A-Ring-a-Ding, A-Ring-a-Ding, Everybody's havin' a ball, A-Ring-a-Ding, A-Ring-a-Ding, Everybody is walkin' tall, All the cats are doin' the Twist, All those girlies there to be kissed, Come on down, Turn the town - upside down, A-Ring-a-Ding-Ding...
- Ottilie Patterson: [singing] I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside, By the riverside, down by the riverside, I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by that riverside, Gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more, study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more-ore-ore, Down by that riverside, I'm gonna lay my burden down, Ain't gonna study war no more...
