Lucky Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Trivia question: What song performed by Fats Domino was written in 1954, recorded in 1955, and not heard until it debuted in a movie in 1956, and charted in 1957? I'm Walkin'? I was going to guess Blue Monday, but I think that was an earlier hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Blue Monday it is!.....Well I got this question from a trivia quiz, so I don't know how good the facts are on that...but oh well...you got it Lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'd say Blue Monday. It was in 'The Girl Can't Help It', which I saw about 10 times. I just looked it up and it came into the Charts in January 1957. So your reasoning was pretty good Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
