Hong Kong had long been a British colony. Western cultural influences started early and seeped into people’s daily life as early as the 1920s.
Cultural influences from the West took an upward turn in the 1950s, firstly through films. During the time when Wong Jum-sum grew up, the number of Western films on show every year was never less than 200. The West was also prominent in radio broadcast. Thanks to the work of progressive radio show hosts like Aileen Woods and Uncle Ray, a whole generation came to be exposed to all styles and genres of Western pop music. They helped to nurture a world where one could embrace simultaneously the diverse sound and sentiments of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Benny Goodman. A new collective outlook was thus embodied in the skin and bone of the baby boomer generation.

No one to talk to all by myself
No one to walk with I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I’m through with flirtin’ it’s just you that I’ve been thinkin’ of
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you
Like jack horner in that ole corner
Don’t go nowhere what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for believe me
I don’t stay out late nowhere to go
I’m home about eight just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you
Like jack horner in that ole corner
Don’t go nowhere what do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for believe me
I don’t stay out late no where to go
I’m home about eight just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’ savin’ all my love for you
Ain’t misbehavin’ i’m savin all my love for you
