Rockin’ Round The Clock

A Look At CSS Music Oldies

Ask even a Millennial: What music makes you feel good? We’ll wager they’ll mention music from a bygone era. Be it Doo Wop, British Invasion, Southern Rock, 70’s Soft Rock or the electronic and danceable sounds of The 80’s, music from these earlier eras seem to bring listeners either a nostalgic feeling (for us oldsters) or a simple, happy sound for those who are hearing older music for the first time.

For you guys/gals producing shows every day, you might consider tapping into this vein of “Gold” to underscore a special scene in your next show. CSS Music has a number of retro tracks in our BackTrax library or you click on Rock (Oldies) or Rock (Pop/Clasic) on our Hand Picked Genre homepage to hear the cream of the crop.

An idea: you get your show’s personalities to individually dance to a track like “Running Around With Sue” (BackTrax Volume 2). Then you edit a montage to the music, apply a 50’s television effect to the video and voíla! Instant fun for everyone, especially your viewers! Double especially fun if they’re terrible dancers!

Of course hot rod shows and male-centric programs are great for good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n roll. A track like “Rock Me Right” (Super Themes, Volume 65) is so universal in its appeal with its retro vibe I-IV-V chord progression and solid beat that it could sync perfectly under any number of scenes.

If you want a Feel-alike of Bill Hailey’s famous rock ‘n roll classic, there’s “Blues Around The Clock” (Super Themes, Volume 29), “Rockabilly Rocket” (Super Themes, Volume 8) and “Roll Around the Clock. (BackTrax Volume 2) When it comes to Oldies, look to the young bucks of CSS Music!
