They just don’t understand us and our love. The theme of 1957. Tommy Sands was an actor not a singer (see also: Tab Hunter) and got cast in a role as a teen idol which required him to sing this song which is why he became a teen idol. Got that? Of course, Tommy also sounds vaguely similar to a Muppet (what was that all about anyway?). But the piano and guitar make this a rock track and not some proximate mid-50s Pat Boone-type number. Even rock was now producing touchy-feely boys. Thank God for Ricky Nelson.
