The vocals in this instance seem Frenchified with a lot of “la la la” phonemes, making it sound cheesy to anyone except Francophiles and hardcore Christmas carolers, but overall I think the artist nailed the song in spirit if not to the letter. Of course, the essence of Doo-Wop–like scat–is that its strings of syllables are stripped of traditional meaning. It augers well for “Sh-Boom” that its words are being translated into foreign languages. (Rage is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, following the impact the asteroid 99942 Apophis on Earth, and thus the artist’s rendition of “Sh-Boom” may be an ironic evocation of the meteoric impact itself–Sh-Boom!–as well as a paean–“Life could be a dream”–to a conditionally brighter future.) It has been speculated that the original “Sh-Boom” was an oblique reference to the atomic bomb.
The song is dedicated “pour les rageux” which may be translated roughly as “for the haters” but may be gamer lingo for devotees of Rage, a first-person shooter video game. This is a French-language rendering by a solo artist from Orléans identified only as Tatay (a Tagalog word meaning “father”). These cats made a smooth cover which I thoroughly enjoyed. When last heard from, SCR was playing to big crowds in Dubai. Their debut album, appropriately enough titled Life Could Be a Dream, came out in 2011. My survey begins on the Left Coast in Los Angeles with Street Corner Renaissance, a five-man a cappella group, all of whom quit their day jobs to pursue their musical muses. Lately, I have been wondering how well “Sh-Boom” has been holding up to the test of time. I simply think of “Sh-Boom” as one of my favorite songs. Some people consider “Sh-Boom” to be one of the first “Rock and Roll” songs (although references to “rocking” can be found as early as 1947). That same year, “Sh-Boom,” in a paler pop arrangement, was a #1 hit for The Crew-Cuts, a Canadian quartet, backed by Dave Carroll’s Orchestra.
“Sh-Boom” appeared on Billboard’s R&B and Pop charts (reaching the #2 and #5 spots, respectively), a rare crossover phenomenon in that era. (“Buddy”) McRae, and James Edwards shared credit for writing the early Doo-Wop classic “Sh-Boom.” Collectively, they were members of the Bronx-based R&B vocal group The Chords, who had their only hit with the song in 1954.
