Teenage Love 12: Teenage Lovers of the 1950s

It was the 1950s and all teen lovebirds back in the day were the greatest couples in America. These people were way before all people who were born in the 1980s were born, even me. It seems that both teen lovebirds (a teen boy-turned elderly man and a teen girl-turned elderly woman) fell completely in love with each other when they were in middle school or high school, even when doo-wop music and rock and roll music were born. It looks like all of the then-teenage lovebirds had a great time back in the day. In reference to teen couples dating back in the 1950s (including the year 1954), they went to a drive-in movie, ate at a diner, they went to see a full moon in classic cars, that kinda stuff. These dates were way before the first cell phone was invented, MTV made its TV channel debut, and before computers were invented. On top of all that, both of the then-young lovebirds used to listen to their favorite love songs, like, "Baby, Baby" by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, "Can't Help Falling In Love" by the late Elvis Presley, Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis, and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by the Four Seasons and the Shirelles. Their parents were happy that their teens were dating back in the day, especially when their parents (the mothers and the fathers) back in the 1950s found out that they were dating. And now that they're not teenagers anymore and even if they stay together as a married couple, they'll tell their grandchildren about the day these two lovebirds have met and fell completely in love.
