I'm 50/50 on if Hank Williams actually wrote this. The lyrics just seem just a bit too fancy, hence why fancy artists always like playing it.

"your heart is shackled to a memory" I mean deep, but is this Hank deep?

This is the same year he wrote "Hey good lookin, what you got cookin'"

Pete Seeger obv was a great songwriter and did a lot to promote and preserve folk music, and it sucks how The Weavers were blacklisted but all their hits I've heard have an extreme lack of pathos.

I can though, hear its influence in instructional songs -- not so much do we hear "this is how you sing this" songs but we still get the occasional "this is how you dance to this" songs, so Cha Cha Slide thanks you.

And then there's the sing-along song, which is extremely rare, especially to hear a sing-along that's actually great -- Sing alongs are fun to be part of but I don't really see the appeal of listening to a sing-along. A notable exception: The Circle Game

Good one, lots of fun, though gets dinged for being the most-a famous use-a of-a outrageous accent that borders on inappropriate.But that harpsichord kicks 8/10

Consisting of upwards of 16 guitar overdubs and 16 vocal overdubs. An insane technical achievement for the time, an on top of that it sounded great and was a big hit. 9/10

Western Swing, aka future rockabilly, aka jump blues by white guys -- appreciation sure, appropriation probably, fun definitely 8/10

"mop" was a common jump blues phrase, ala "hoy" -- I don't know why -- but here's Louis Jordan using it 5 years earlier --

A delightful gem! Nowadays mop is still a lyrical trope but for different reasons involving the ladies!

Mop
A woman. Often a reference to another hepster's girlfriend.

But more likely it's just an expression that sounds like a blowing horn or beat used for emphasis, like The Beatles' "yeah!" or Little Richard's "woo!" or Perez Prado's "¡Hu!" or all the noises James Brown made.
