Always loved this happy tune!
Infectious song I always loved – one of my favorites from the β60s.π
Itβs probably now going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day!π
But, hey, at least itβs a great and happy tune!π
I can’t imagine anyone NOT liking this song. A happy tune indeed!
I must have heard this song played thousands of time on AM radio in my teens.
A CB fave.
Can’t see how anyone wouldn’t like this one!
I seen Flo and Eddie and they really did this one up good.
