Britain ruled over Nepal much like Germany ruled over Sweden. I would argue that the longest a country has gone without being conquered, colonized, or ruled by another would be England, since 1066. And if there has been any country that has not be CCorR in its existence, it is the USA.
Why is a hit song recorded by Frankie Avalon in 1959 and went to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart for the week of December 28, 1959, making it the last number one single of the 1950s. The song was written by Frankie's manager and record producer Robert Bob Marcucci and Peter De Angelis.
The original recording was by Nelstone's Hawaiians, comprising Hubert Nelson and James D. Touchstone. The song's opening line reads: Just because you think you're so pretty, just because you think you're so hot..... Just Because was the Shelton's first release on Decca but, due to their popularity, they went on to cut over 150 sides for the label. They also recorded sides for Victor Records and King Records.
