This came out just when I had decided to join the Navy.All my friends and classmates went Army Reserve or Army except for one of my pals but he didn't go in until I was getting out after over 4 years. Only regret I have was getting out.

Subtle and clever writing. In '63 there was no social media to hype artists. They had only their creativity to rely upon.

"Navy Blue" by Diane Renay."Navy Blue," a song about a girl who misses her boyfriend while he is away with the U.S. Navy, was written by Bob Crewe, Bud Rehak, and Eddie Rambeau. In 1963 and into 1964, it went to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. Diane Renay, from Philadelphia, was 17 years old when "Navy Blue" was released. Renay had taken voice lessons from Artie Singer, who also managed the group Danny and The Juniors. Singer encouraged Renay to have a recording career. Besides "Navy Blue," Renay had a hit with "Kiss Me Sailor" in 1964. She continues to record and perform. Bob Crewe wrote songs for and managed many artists, including The Four Seasons, The Rays, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Freddy Boom Boom Cannon, Lesley Gore, Michael Jackson, Bobby Darin, Roberta Flack, Patti LaBelle, and many more. Here are the lyrics: Blue, navy blueI'm as blue as I can be'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"And joined the Navy (sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)He said he wanted to settle downAnd let me be his girlBut first he had to do a little travelin' aroundAnd see the whole wide worldThat's why I'm blue, navy blueI'm as blue as I can be'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"And joined the Navy (Sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)I got a letter yesterday from TokyoAnd a souvenirA walky-talky wind-up little China dollThat says, "Wish you were here"(Musical Interlude)Blue, navy blueI'm as blue as I can be'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"And joined the Navy (Sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)He's comin' home to see me on a weekend passA forty-eight hour day-ateThat boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast'Cause I can hardly waitTill then I'm blue, navy blueI'm as blue as I can be'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"And joined the NavyAh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah(Blue Navy blue)(I’m as blue as I can be)Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah(Blue Navy Blue)(I’m as blue as I can be)"

Always liked the voice - especially the last bit where she does the high "waha".

Here's some obscure trivia:On this day in 1794 {March 27th} President George Washington & the Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Navy and approved the construction of six frigate ships...And exactly 170 years later on March 27th, 1964 Diane Renay's "Navy Blue" would be at #13 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and the week before it was in its second of two weeks at #6, which was also its peak position on the Top 100...Ms. Renay only other Top 100 record also had a naval theme, "Kiss Me Sailor", it reached #29 and stay on the chart for 8 weeks...Diane Renay, born Renee Diane Kushner, will celebrate her 70th birthday in four months on July 13th {2015}...

Thanks for this post. To show how much times have changed, I remember being very young and watching Diane Renay lip-sync this song on some TV show. When she briefly turned her back to the camera on the instrumental break and shook her hips back and forth for five seconds or so, my parents were up in arms. Today, that would be soooo tame. I'm not so sure whether we are worse off or better off today.
