Del Shannon, "Runaway" (1961)
　

この曲は、私がまだ九州の田舎にいた頃、「オールナイトニッポン」（ニッポン放送）の中で毎日流れていた。

厳密に言うと、番組の中で流れていたのではなく、CMの代りに流れている感じ。番組後半で聴いた記憶がある。

ひょっとしたら、東京ではCMが流れていて、私の地元の局では曲に差し替えられていたのかもしれない。まぁ、実際どうだったかは確認のしようもないけれど。他の局ではどうだったのかなぁ？

Del Shannon, "Runaway" (1961)

As I walk along
I wonder what went wrong
With our love
a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on
I think of the things we've done
Together while our hearts were young

I'm walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wish'in you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder I wa- wa- wa- wa- wa- wonder
Why ah why why why why   she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway run run run run runaway

I'm walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder I wa- wa- wa- wa- wa- wonder
Why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway run run run run runaway
run run run run runaway

この他には、The Platters, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" (1958) なども流れていた。

これらの曲を聴くと、「オールナイトニッポン」後半の、眠気を通り越して頭が冴え始め、目尻目頭がピリピリし始めるあの時間帯を思い出す。

The Platters, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (1958)

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
