Steve Lawrence took this to #1 in 1963- and Donny Osmond’s cover- returned it to the top spot 8 years later. Why? Wasn’t the first time bad enough? Listen at your own risk.

My sister wants to mail in a grade from 1971.. .A+ but I’ll cancel her out with a 0 …I actually pushed the play button…I will regret that all day.
I don’t know if I ever revealed this- about 30 years ago I had a dream that I was married to Marie Osmond…which would have made me well a member of the Osmond family. Maybe that is why I am such a fanatic! lol… Hans Osmond!!
Now that is a nightmare…teeth and all…my falling into a snake pit reoccurring dream has nothing on that!
Wow…Ron-nie and Marie
No you didn’t…😳
Did I?
Ronnie & Marie…😖😝😆
lol
You are so bad…😈😎😆
Oh dear god…
Looked at the title and thought “oh, must be Hans’ turn in the song draft!”, LOL
😆
Unquestionably one of the worst songs of the 1970s, or ever! I’m still in shock this spent three weeks at #1 in the same year as “Me and Bobby McGee”, “It’s Too Late” and “Maggie May” (which followed it). But in looking back at the songs that hit #1 in 1971, most were either fantastic or dreadful, with little in-between.
Followed by Puppy Love…😖
It’s an ok song as far as The Osmond cult goes, but I never got over their pasty pablum attempts to compete with The Jackson 5. No contest! I love the comments that this song generated. Still laughing over your dream you were married to Marie Osmond lol
E-gads…
Not going to listen to it but looking at the album cover was my comedy moment of the morning 😀
