"Clock" in Top Ten songs (1951-2015)

As over the next couple days we get to experience the effect of this odd ritual we have of messing with time twice a year, today's post features lyrics from songs of the Billboard's year-end Top Ten charts (1951-2015) that include the word clock, in, of course, chronological order.

The DVD "The Legends of Rock & Roll"states this clip is from the Ted Steel show WOR-TV, New York (1955). Apparently, it is from Washington Square, a show hosted by Ray Bolger (1956).
"Tossin' and Turnin'" is a song written by Ritchie Adams and Malou Rene, and originally recorded by Bobby Lewis. The record reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 on July 10, 1961, and R&B chart, and has since become a standard on oldies compilations.
