"Jailhouse Rock "
My favourite song is Jailhouse Rock because it represents very well the beginning of the new musical genre rock and roll. Moreover, I chose it because her rhythm motivates you and I think it makes us dance. It is very important because it revolutionized the generation of the 50s. Also because it is about a prison party where prisoners and guards come together in a moment of happiness and music.
