"Rock Around the Clock"
"Rock Around the Clock" was a famous Earth rock and roll song of the 1950s. A recording of it was played to entertain customers of Nostalgia Tours, including Melanie Bush, when they travelled to Disneyland in 1959. (TV: Delta and the Bannermen [+]Loading...["Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The most famous version of the song was recorded by Bill Haley and the Comets in 1954. Ostensibly for rights reasons, this version was not used in Delta and the Bannermen, though attempts were made to procure the rights and the song was described as "a recording of Bill Haley's 'Rock Around the Clock'" in the novelisation.
A new recording of the song (along with numerous other 1950s standards) was made by Doctor Who house composer Keff McCulloch for its use in Delta. On screen, members of the cast are shown singing along to the recording, including Bonnie Langford.
