香港長期是英國的殖民地，經濟上對外開放，文化上對歐西特別寬容，西洋時尚，早在上世紀二三十年代，已經由中環一帶，向外散播。

1950年代，西洋潮流進一步滲入平民生活。

新一代的潮，由電影帶動。日戰前洋電影在本地放映的數字每年平均超過二百部。黃湛森抵港後，數字有增無減。慢慢，讀番書，看洋戲，玩舶來的呼拉圈和搖搖，在年輕人之中，變得理所當然。

新一代的潮，也由電台帶動。多謝前衛主持人Aileen Woods和Uncle Ray的忘情推介，黃湛森和同輩的年青人，天天靠近電台，面向歐西，貼近流行，學懂將Frank Sinatra、Bing Crosby、Elvis Presley與Benny Goodman一起兼聽，並且在搖頭擺腦之間，確認歐西流行曲在創作、演奏、歌唱、錄音，都不是香港或上海所能望其肩背。

電台廣播歐西流行歌曲，由聽覺開始，經過身軀，製造了新一代的口味和人格。

Yummy yum yummy yummy yum

Love is a fruit of the yum yum tree
come share some yum yum again with me
You never miss a kiss or two but if you do
I’ll give you back as many as I take from you

This is the song of the yum yum tree
come share some yum yum and dance with me
When the dance is through
I promise you your heart will still be free
So, come pretty one,
come my yum yum yum with me

愛之果產生在愛之樹
真好吃滋味多愛之樹
它枝葉茂密生根蔥榮永不枯
我祝它開花插滿一瓶結好果

真歡喜真甜密愛之果
真好味真好吃愛之果
純潔心聯合願你和他
同危難 共擔苦 灌溉愛之樹
你們在等待愛之夢

Love is a fruit of the yum yum tree
Love is the route to the harmony
No wonder I would rather dance than sit and talk
No wonder I would rather dance than take a walk

Yum Yum is such fun and all so free
no one can dance it as well as me
When the dance is through
I hope that you again will say to me
“Will you pretty one please yum yum yum yum with me?” with me
