香港長期是英國的殖民地，經濟上對外開放，文化上對歐西特別寬容，西洋時尚，早在上世紀二三十年代，已經由中環一帶，向外散播。
1950年代，西洋潮流進一步滲入平民生活。
新一代的潮，由電影帶動。日戰前洋電影在本地放映的數字每年平均超過二百部。黃湛森抵港後，數字有增無減。慢慢，讀番書，看洋戲，玩舶來的呼拉圈和搖搖，在年輕人之中，變得理所當然。
新一代的潮，也由電台帶動。多謝前衛主持人Aileen Woods和Uncle Ray的忘情推介，黃湛森和同輩的年青人，天天靠近電台，面向歐西，貼近流行，學懂將Frank Sinatra、Bing Crosby、Elvis Presley與Benny Goodman一起兼聽，並且在搖頭擺腦之間，確認歐西流行曲在創作、演奏、歌唱、錄音，都不是香港或上海所能望其肩背。
電台廣播歐西流行歌曲，由聽覺開始，經過身軀，製造了新一代的口味和人格。

Three coins in the fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which on will the fountain bless
Three hearts in the fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine
Make it mine
Make it mine
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine
Make it mine
Make it mine
