thebes Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The Colonials had had DooWop? Watched "The Last Mohigans" earlier today, and , of course, I I've read the book. It occurred to me that Native Americans would probably have been more susceptible to DooWop, than, say, rock-and-roll, and /or blankets infected with smallpox. Just think. Some Brothers hanging around a camp fire, putting out some harmonies. I'm pretty sure the locals wouldn't have chewed off the fingers of that guy who became a martyr/saint if they knew he'd need them to snap them to keep the beat going. Now granted, the bad Indian tribes were in the pay of the French, who probably would have sneered at DooWop, eaten some snails and ordered the Neighborhood burned down. Or maybe the tribes would have changed their minds, and tossed the Frenchies into the nearest camp fire and sat down with, say the Silhouettes, and shared a peace pipe or two. What say ye? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like your idea and I agree, some doowop might have chilled everyone out and created a totally different vibe. The French would've ran from the doowop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French would've ran from the doowop! Yes, the would have ran from things they could not understand. And sneered at it meanwhile as beaugois.

thebes Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Now granted certain concepts like "Boardwalk" and 'roof' as in up on the, would have to have been explained but other doowop standard would have been know to them. After all the Northern tribes like the Onondaga Nation, the Iroquois, The Senecas, with their longhouses would have known what a tenement was. And really, if you think about it, many of the songs would have spoken to universally understood physical concepts. I'm thinking of these: Five Satins - In The Still Of The Night Penguins - Earth Angel Mellow Kings - Tonight Tonight Elegants - Little Star Dubs - Could This Be Magic Danleers - One Summer Night Capris - There's A Moon Out Tonight You may scoff, but for a tune or two, we might have a far different nation todayl Edited April 20, 2014 by thebes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but do they love DooWop. I think not. Since I'm half french Canadian (father was born in Canada) one of my long distant relatives is probably responsible for hitting on Colonel Monro's smoking hot English colonial babes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
