Walk Right Back is a song by Sonny Curtis that was recorded by The Everly Brothers, and went to #7 in the U.S. Billboard charts, and #1 in the UK charts. Originally it was the B-side, then it was changed to the a-side. In 1978, the song was a country hit for Anne Murray.

"Wake Up Little Susie" is a popular song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and published in 1957. The song is best known in a recording by The Everly Brothers, issued by Cadence Records as catalog number 1337. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Pop and Country charts and the Cash Box Best Selling Record charts, despite having been banned from Boston radio stations for lyrics that—at the time—were considered suggestive. [1] It got to #2 on the United Kingdom song charts. The song is ranked #311 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Among notable musical groups performing covers of the song are Simon and Garfunkel and the Grateful Dead. During Simon and Garfunkel's "Old Friends" tour in 2003-2004, they performed this song and others in a segment with the Everly Brothers, who toured in support. Simon and Garfunkel have cited the Everly Brothers as strong influences on their own music. The musical duo Evan and Jaron also recorded a version of the song on their album, "52 Sundays."
In an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show during the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Governor George W. Bush named "Wake Up Little Susie" as his favorite song, erroneously claiming it was by Buddy Holly. Holly never recorded the song. In 2008 a part of the song was sung in the bluegrass version of The Raconteurs' Old Enough, featuring Ricky Skaggs and Ashley Monroe.
Song Premise
The song is written from the point of view of a high school boy to his girlfriend, Susie. In the song, the two go out on a date to a drive-in movie theater, only to fall asleep during the movie. They do not wake up until 4 o'clock in the morning, well after the 10 o'clock curfew. They then contemplate the reactions of her parents and their friends. Although banned in such places as Boston, the song does not state that Susie and her boyfriend had sexual relations. Indeed, it strongly implies that they did not: the couple simply fell asleep because they were bored by the film.

"Bye Bye Love" is a popular song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and published in 1957. It is best known in a debut recording by The Everly Brothers, issued by Cadence Records as catalog number 1315. The song reached #2 on the US Billboard Pop charts and #1 on the Cash Box Best Selling Record charts. Ray Charles included his version of the song on his 1962 album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. The song is ranked #207 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Rory Blackwell and his Blackjacks recorded it the UK in 1957 issued by Parlophone/EMI The Everly Brothers' version also enjoyed major success as a country song, reaching No. 1 in the spring of 1957. Its country success was concurrent with another country version recorded by Webb Pierce, at the time one of country music's top entertainers. Pierce's version reached No. 7 that summer. The duo Simon & Garfunkel recorded it live for their 1970 Bridge Over Troubled Water album. A "goof" may be heard in the sixth line of the third refrain, where one or both singers begin singing "happiness" as in the second line of the refrain but correct themselves to sing "sweet caress." The listener hears something akin to "Bye bye ha-sweet caress." George Harrison recorded this song for his 1974 album Dark Horse with slightly changed lyrics. The song was featured in the film All That Jazz, sung by Ben Vereen and Roy Scheider, with some lyrics rewritten to fit that story. A cover of the song by the Scottish band The Proclaimers is heard in the film Bye Bye Love. "Bye Bye Love" was also included in the Ditty Bops album "Moon Over The Freeway," published in 2006. Trini Lopez included his version of the song on his On The Move album for Reprise Records. A Swedish version with lyrics by Keith Almgren, also called "Bye Bye Love," was recorded by Sten & Stanley on the 1991 album Musik, Dans & Party 6

By far the best-known version was recorded by The Everly Brothers and originally appeared on the album Everly Brothers Best in 1959. The first version they recorded was laid down in just two takes, [1] on March 6, 1958. The song has also featured on several notable lists of the best songs or singles of all time, including Q's 1001 best songs ever in 2003 and Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, where it placed 141. The record is the only one to be at #1 on all of Billboard's singles charts simultaneously, on June 2, 1958. It first reached #1 on the "Most played by Jockeys" and "Top 100" charts on May 19, 1958, and remained there for five and three weeks, respectively; with the August 1958 introduction of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song ended the year at #2. The B-side, "Claudette", was the first major songwriting success for Roy Orbison, and was named for his wife. As a result of this song he terminated his contract with Sun Records and affiliated himself with the Everly's publisher, Acuff-Rose.
