I agree I love "Goody Goody" And that other song "Out in the cold Tonight" Frankie Lymon was the man at that time. To bad he's dead now. I wonder if he was still living to day what kind of music would he be doing? Lol
I like all the songs by Frankie in this movie and agree with everyone, however the most important song, after "Fools" is Frankie Lyman declaring "(No, No) I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent," while the nasty twinkle in his eyes says exactly the opposite.
Rock 'n' Roll in the '50's was mostly 'Goody, Goody' happy music, with the occassinal failed love ballad. "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent" with its implied lyrics, starts rock down the road of negativity. Passing thru Curtis Mayfield's "God Damn The Pusherman" in 1972 and landing in the rap lyric of the '90's and 2000s, it has not been a good trip.
For Dexelerfan11, the hmm-hmm-hmm-hm-hm-hm-hmmm song where Frankie faints, is his cover of the Bobby Day classic "Little Bitty Pretty One" more recently done by Aaron Carter. What's the music world coming too!!!

LITTLE BITTY PRETTY ONE WAS BY CURTIS LEE
shareLittle Bitty Pretty One was written in 1957 by Robert Bryd who performed the song as Bobby Day and the Satellites. That is the original version, but it has been followed by about 20 major versions, including Thurston Harris in 1957, Frankie Lymon and Frankie Avalon in 1958. Later came Clyde McPhatter, The Dave Clark 5, The Jackson 5, Cliff Richard, Huey Lewis, Billy Gilman and finally Aaron Carter. Most of the arrangements are similar to the original, but in my opinion the best versions are Frankie Lymon and Clyde McPhatter. The biggest seller was by Thurston Harris and a little later Bobby Day AKA Robert Bryd hit number one with "Rockin' Robin"

"Goody Goody" and "Little Bitty Pretty One" are my favorites. "Goody Goody" is just one of those feel good songs. You can't help it, you just gotta get up and dance. Or just bop up and down in your chair and clap your hands. If you are in a bad mood, "Goody Goody" will put you in a good mood.
shareI love the one where he is counting.......3, 4, 5,6 etc but I cannot recall the name of it right now.
Peace.

That song is a cute and nice one called Baby Baby. Here is the link to a clip of the real Frankie Lymon singing it (much cuter than Larentz Tate I think).

Actually "Pusherman" was written by Hoyt Axton and recorded by Steppenwolf in 1968
shareGod damn, your right. The Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman" has no god damn's in it at all and is just "Pusherman" while "(God Damn the) Pusherman" by
Steppenwolf is an entirely different song. Both are outstanding songs, but good examples of negative Rock 'n' Roll. No more 'Goody, Goody', where are you Frankie when Rock & Roll really needs you?

ABC's of Love! So much energy in that song ya HAVE to dance!
shareBaby, Baby you're the only 1,2, 11, 12
shareWithout a doubt it would be "Baby Baby". Not only because it was the most exciting music scene of the movie, but also because I felt the song was the perfect theme for the movie with the line "Baby, Baby you're the only one - two, three, four". It seemed perfect for a movie in which three women were trying to prove who was the real Mrs. Frankie Lymon.
shareI don't know the name, but he kept saying "no, no, no, no, no, no, no" or something like that- It was a very short sample of the song, but I liked that one.
shareThe song you are referring to is called "Juvenile Delinquent" My favorite song from the movie was "ABC". That part where he is uh-ohing is my favorite. What a voice!
shareI love all the songs, but "Goody Goody" is my favorite.
A lot of classics were used.
