A nice hit for the Gaylords in the mid 1950s. Here is how they got their name, "We actually got our name, "The Gaylords," because Don and Ronnie could grow beards really easy. so we decided we would all three grow beards and call ourselves the "Gay Lords," two words. But the club owner wrote the name in his New Year's Eve ad wrong, putting the two words together, "Gaylords." But we liked it that way, so we left it alone after that. " This matches third party content which means in this case, you'll have to wait for an advertisement to finish before the video starts.

I was 13 when this song came out. The reason homosexuals are call gays today is because they are always happy.

@wilown01 what a great comment- alot of goldies contain the word gay. It just shows how far or i should say low we have come from those days.

I used to see them at the Club Gay Haven on John R and it was'nt a homosexual bar either back in the 50s. They were fantastic!

this was my grandmothers favorite song. We lost my grandma known as "Yankee Mary", Mary DeCesare of Newark New Jersey. I will miss you so much grandma and will think of you everytime I hear this song!

@CadillacFrank I think they felt that the beards reminded them of British Lords, at least on that particular night. The "gay" in this case just meant "happy" and I guess they just felt in a good mood when they were clowning around doing the beard thing. So they came up with a name, the Gay Lords, which got changed to Gaylords. I can't pretend to have the answer, however, I don't understand why it has caused so much commentary. It's just a name for the group. That's all.

I have one of their records -- and know that their gayness was only pretend. No need to worry: they're straight, god-fearing Christians! Notice the allegory about the *wine*

We're exactly the same age and I fully agree with you! Being a teenager in the fifties was great. In fact, it was the best of times. We were lucky to have been there!

It's not so much a matter of immaturity as it is a matter of the times of your life. When the Gaylords were popular, the word gay meant having or showing a merry, lively mood. The gay meaning of today, homosexual interests or issues, simply didn't exist back then. I'm 69 years old, and I never thought of the word "gay" as part of the "Garlords" till people started commenting on the songs I posted. Some were quite nasty. Personally I think "Gaylords" is a better name than "Meat Loaf".

There were actually two pressings of this song on the Mercury label in 1954. One had "Stolen Moments" as the flip side, while the back side of the other was "Patzo for Pizza." The Gaylords were certainly one of the greatest groups in the mid-1950s.

NO!
