Many tunes by The Chordettes, Doris Day, Billy Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, The Mellomen and Bing Crosby are featured in the video. They represent the 1950s era.
The video takes a sentimental glance at what life was like back then. It starts with images of downtown. The streets were filled with folks dressed in sharp suits and fancy gowns.
Numerous pictures showed a perfect American family. It included a wife and husband along with two kids, usually a son and daughter. They would relax at home watching TV or visit the drive-in which was always busy.
Car culture was booming. Pictures of Chrysler, Ford, Hudson and Chevrolet cars were showcased. These vehicles were stylish and many were made for big families.
Also, American diners became very popular. People could be seen sitting in their cars in parking lots. McDonald’s had already started its business during this time.
Davy Crockett captured the nation’s attention; everyone loved the legendary tale of this frontier hero! People wanted his famous hat.
The last few scenes show kids enjoying movies at theaters, children going to school and families attending church on Sundays. A lot has changed over time but some things still stay the same.
