Several songs by The Chordettes, Doris Day, Billy Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, The Mellomen, and Bing Crosby are played throughout the video. They mark the 1950s decade.

The video is a nostalgic look back at what life was like years ago. It begins with pictures of downtown. The streets were packed with people dressed in pristine suits and gowns.

Several photos depicted an ideal American family. It had a wife and a husband, as well as two children, generally a son and a daughter. They would sit at home and watch television or go to the drive-in, which was always crowded.

The car culture was on the rise. Images of Chrysler, Ford, Hudson, and Chevrolet vehicles were on display. The automobiles were elegant, and many of them were designed for large families.

In addition, the American diner was extremely popular. People were seen sitting in their cars in the parking lot. McDonald’s had already been in business during this decade.

Davy Crockett swept the nation, and everyone’s hearts were caught by the fabled story of the frontier hero. People desired his trademark headwear.

The final few scenes show youngsters watching movies in the theater, children heading to school, and families going to church on a Sunday. Many things have changed throughout the years, yet some remain constant.
