OK, if CeramicsFanatic did it for the 1970's and 1980's, then I'm going to do it for the 1950's and the 1960's.  This is the 1950's version, which only covers 1955 through 1959, for two reasons--Joel Whitburn's site only goes back to 1955, and the rock era began in 1955.  All of these lyrics lines came from #1 songs from 1955 to 1959, as verified by Joel Whitburn.  I will give you two words from the lyrics from a #1 song that came out between 1955 and 1959, and you identify the song by title and artist.  Limit three.
