香港长期是英国的殖民地,经济上对外开放,文化上对欧西特别宽容,西洋时尚,早在上世纪二三十年代,已经由中环一带,向外散播。

1950年代,西洋潮流进一步渗入平民生活。

新一代的潮,由电影带动。日战前洋电影在本地放映的数字每年平均超过二百部。黄湛森抵港后,数字有增无减。慢慢,读番书,看洋戏,玩舶来的呼拉圈和摇摇,在年轻人之中,变得理所当然。

新一代的潮,也由电台带动。多谢前卫主持人Aileen Woods和Uncle Ray的忘情推介,黄湛森和同辈的年青人,天天靠近电台,面向欧西,贴近流行,学懂将Frank Sinatra、Bing Crosby、Elvis Presley与Benny Goodman一起兼听,并且在摇头摆脑之间,确认欧西流行曲在创作、演奏、歌唱、录音,都不是香港或上海所能望其肩背。

电台广播欧西流行歌曲,由听觉开始,经过身躯,制造了新一代​​的口味和人格。

I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Holiday J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E double L-S
I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Jingle Bells, jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring, making our spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle Bells, jing jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Holiday J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E double L-S
I Love those Jingle Bells, all the way
