My gran had this on a 78. We all used to dance around to this as kids. Brilliant.

I have never heard the Statler Brothers do this song, in fact I've never heard anyone do it. If you have this record please post it. I looked YT clips of the Statler Brothers and no one else has put it on. I would love to hear it.

Wendi Wilson

The Statler Brothers did a cover of this song that was pretty amazing, too.

There is no doubt that Franie Laine was the Neil Diamond of the 50's. There were few songs that he recorded that I didn't like. Finding this song REALLY brought back some great memories. Thank you to who ever posted it. I listen to it tow or three times a week.

Merrill was notorious for awful novelty songs ("Doggie in the Window," "I'd Have Baked a Cake," etc. though he also established himself as a competent composer/lyricist on B'way (CARNIVAL, etc.). Laine replaced the other "Frankie" in popularity for a while and I think Frank appeared in a TV show snapping a whip a la "Mule Train," in playful mockery. Frank of course survived that momentary eclipse and dominated the Billboard charts with his classic albums for the rest of the decade.

@shilo39 Now I'm not sure what was on the flip side in the UK but here in thr U.S. it was "Long Distance Love". This was also the last recording that Frankie worked with his long time friend Carl Fisher as he doed shortly after this record was made.

@rafhenlow Isn't funny how things from your childhood mean more to you now than when you were a child and took them for granted.

Alan Pat

A song from my childhood. I was beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination.

@markalson1938 Billy Cotton was one of our pre-war best Big Bands ever- He opened with a loud call of WAKIE WAKIE and ended with his signature tune of Somebody Stole My Gal -His son Billy Cotton Junior became head of B B C Entertainment in 1947 -he stayed for several years

Billy Cotton during the 1950's had a radio show - at about 1.30pm every Sunday - it was called The Billy Cotton Band Show he often sang as well. He sang "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" - which is on youtube. His son - also called Bill - became Managing Director of the BBC and died in 2008.

@tonyWen1 I had never heard of Billy Cotton so I looked him up. He was a British Big Band leader of the 30's and 40's and way before the so called British invasion of the 60's in music so I guess he never made it over here to the U.S. I spent 3 years in England in the early 70's but he was long gone by then. I found some of his stuff on YT and he was very good.

Billy Cotton sang this song - It was on the b - side of his record Friends and Neighbours in 1954.
