Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around the Clock

"Rock Around the Clock" is a rock and roll song in the 12-bar blues format written by Max C. Freedman and James E. Myers (the latter being under the pseudonym "Jimmy De Knight") in 1952. The best-known and most successful rendition was recorded by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1954 for American Decca. My copy however dates to around 1978, when the song was used in a french commercial for the wool company Phildar advertising socks. I presume it was 'free' when you purchased a pair.
