Funny reading the comments. Does anybody remember singing this song along with every other 4th, 5th, and/or 6th grader from Denver Public Schools at the Denver Auditorium Arena in the late 1960's? I enjoyed hearing everyone else sing so much that I just lipped the words and listened. Good song.
@LifeMasterEnterprise Oh wow! I hadn't remembered that kicking off the "Weekend in the West" every Friday with this song until you reminded me. Now it's all flooding back to me! Oh how I loved listening to KHOW in the 70s!
Oh my ! I haven't heard this song for 30 YEARS and sang along perfectly the first time I heard it here. It will always be with me. Learned it at Howbert Elementary school in the late 60s.
Glad you enjoyed it! When I first found it again, I realized that I still knew it by heart, too - really surprised me when they decided not to change the state song to this one!
As a pioneer native, this my favorite colorado song. I learned this in kindergarden at Erie Elementary in 1968. My kids laughed cause i still knew the song word for word.
I learned this as a kid in Mrs. Martin's music class at Peiffer Elementary in Littleton Colorado. I still remember all the lyrics, and wish this was our state song instead of the boring "Where the Columbine grow" People voted this song down in favor of the Columbine song because they said this one was too cow-town. It may be, but at least it is memorable and fun to sing!! Thanks for posting.
I wanted the powers that be to change our state song to this, too. For a long time, I thought they did and was terribly disappointed when I found out it was never changed. Sigh. I can't even sing Columbines, but I sure like singing this one!
Hal & Charlie. KHOW. Memories :-)
