I am NOT ok with music in the 90s being refered to as "oldies". Oasis is NOT oldies!!!

Wait, wasn't it "big girls don't cry"? Or are we thinking of two different songs?

Yeah, totally different. Big girls don't cry was Four Seasons, 1962. It was also an oldie in 1980. So I'd say the window for oldie is actually 25 years.

I'm not actually familiar with little girl, don't cry. I googled 1950 big band music.
