Performance tip

When rehearsing 1959, map the verse order carefully because the lyric gives you relatively few repeated lines as landmarks. That preparation will keep 1959 from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With 1959, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has more changing verse text than repeated hook material and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
