Start Movin' (In My Direction) by Sal Mineo (#9 in 1957)

Come on down to Budget Elvis Days here at the Late 50’s Records Shop.  Why not try out this fake Elvis, Sal Mineo?  He’ll get you to “Start Movin’” with this modest hit.  No money down and no payments ‘til 1959.  We’ll give you someone with a vague country accent singing about love.  Hurry, hurry.  Deals like these won’t last forever.  And if you come on down today, we’ll throw in strange backing vocalists and an insubstantial rock instrumentation. So hurry down to Late 50’s Records Shop, where we have today’s best music without the Elvis.

I had no idea "without the rap" was such a widespread radio selling point...ugh.
