Little Richard - Here's Little Richard

This isn't the first great LP of the Rock and Roll era (Elvis Presley :elvis: released "Elvis Presley" :elvis: the year before), but it is the game changer.  It's a wild ride from the opening "Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom!" to the end. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Flogging Molly - The Speed of Darkness

Having seen them live, I'm very much into this band now - it's like a cross between the Pogues and the Clash.
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

The Andrew Sisters - Rum and Coca Cola

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeY2ORU5uU4

Those are some surprisingly open-minded lyrics for the 40s.

Didn't the Andrew Sisters claim ignorance of the meaning of the song?

Yes, I believe so.  Also I've read that the song is a rip-off of a genuine Calypso song.

Here we go, it's originally by Lord Invader:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWUF3LYd88

Much funnier, but nowhere near as smooth as the Andrew Sister.

Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow, Wendy
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
