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。

Yummy yum yummy yummy yum

Love is a fruit of the yum yum tree
come share some yum yum again with me
You never miss a kiss or two but if you do
I’ll give you back as many as I take from you

This is the song of the yum yum tree
come share some yum yum and dance with me
When the dance is through
I promise you your heart will still be free
So, come pretty one,
come my yum yum yum with me

爱之果产生在爱之树
真好吃滋味多爱之树
它枝叶茂密生根葱荣永不枯
我祝它开花插满一瓶结好果

真欢喜真甜密爱之果
真好味真好吃爱之果
纯洁心联合愿你和他
同危难共担苦灌溉爱之树
你们在等待爱之梦

Love is a fruit of the yum yum tree
Love is the route to the harmony
No wonder I would rather dance than sit and talk
No wonder I would rather dance than take a walk

Yum Yum is such fun and all so free
no one can dance it as well as me
When the dance is through
I hope that you again will say to me
“Will you pretty one please yum yum yum yum with me?” with me
