Several songs play over the course of the video, from The Chordettes, Doris Day, Billy Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, The Mellomen, and Bing Crosby. They mark the decade of the 1950s.

Car culture was on the rise. There were photos shown of cars from Chrysler, Ford, Hudson, and Chevrolet. The vehicles were sleek and many models were built for large families.

The American diner was immensely popular as well. People could be seen hanging out in the parking lot in their cars. McDonald’s was already open during this decade.

Davy Crockett swept the nation, the legendary story of the hero of the frontier captured the hearts of everyone. His signature hat became an item that people were dying to have.
