What are the most popular Rockabilly songs if I wanted to make a CD with songs from that era?

Question

I am putting a fun rockabilly CD together for a party, and also for me to enjoy in my car. We like to have themes for party's and this is definitely something I would like doing, but really not part of the rockabilly scene. So can someone give me some ideas for my playlist? I enjoy Swing style music as well. This can be a mixture of old and new music. I basically need music to evoke a vintage feel. I have some new songs from the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Christina Aguilera's Candy Man, but will have to splurge on the older stuff. Thanks in advance for any help!

"Rock This Town" by The Stray Cats
