香港长期是英国的殖民地,经济上对外开放,文化上对欧西特别宽容,西洋时尚,早在上世纪二三十年代,已经由中环一带,向外散播。

1950年代,西洋潮流进一步渗入平民生活。

新一代的潮,由电影带动。日战前洋电影在本地放映的数字每年平均超过二百部。黄湛森抵港后,数字有增无减。慢慢,读番书,看洋戏,玩舶来的呼拉圈和摇摇,在年轻人之中,变得理所当然。

新一代的潮,也由电台带动。多谢前卫主持人Aileen Woods和Uncle Ray的忘情推介,黄湛森和同辈的年青人,天天靠近电台,面向欧西,贴近流行,学懂将Frank Sinatra、Bing Crosby、Elvis Presley与Benny Goodman一起兼听,并且在摇头摆脑之间,确认欧西流行曲在创作、演奏、歌唱、录音,都不是香港或上海所能望其肩背。

电台广播欧西流行歌曲,由听觉开始,经过身躯,制造了新一代​​的口味和人格。

No one to talk to all by myself
No one to walk with I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you

I know for certain the one I love
I’m through with flirtin’ it’s just you that I’ve been thinkin’ of
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you

Like jack horner in that ole corner
Don’t go nowhere what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for believe me

I don’t stay out late nowhere to go
I’m home about eight just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you

Like jack horner in that ole corner
Don’t go nowhere what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for believe me

I don’t stay out late no where to go
I’m home about eight just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you

Ain’t misbehavin’ i’m savin all my love for you
