My parents use to square dance to this tune. The purchased a 45 RPM record when I was about 6 years old or so (1961) or so. I grew-up with this record, played it over and over and over. My mother (88 years old now), still has that same record in her pile of old square dance records her and dad use to dance to. Ahhh... the memories! I still love this song after all these years. Thanks for posting this wonderful memory!
I love this. It brings back memories of listening to music with my Mother, God Rest her soul. @ TheJanka51 The barking is part of the original recording and belongs in the song.
Err, and please keep in mind that this song wasn't cut exclusively for you, as there were hundreds of Patti page fans at the time out there that didn't mind hearing a barking dog recorded into a song at least once in rare while. More money to be made with that method than releasing something on vinyl that gratifies only you.
Now I Hope this helped for you to make better sense of why the mutt was mixed in with music, once and for all.
*Faceplam* Gimme a big lunch break, woncha, strait A student? You must 'ave gone to & aced Harvard. As if I meant myself to represent those legions of people (I don't even know, not a man Jack of 'em) who didn't mind the dog enough to buy the records that kept Patti in the FAT chips so she could keep affording her expensive high-lifestyle and easily buy another fur coat, IN SPITE of your self-righteous whine. Now U get the bottom line? My cow is dead. Who needs ya stink'n bull?!
don't huh? Now you know how Patti and those that didn't mind the dog would feel about yours, as it does nothing to help pay her bills (or anyone else's for the matter) Feeling better? Or more stupid, as you've certainly a right to be in this case.
Yeah, but is it as much as the poor stuff you use for weak comebacks in any blogging one? If you've trouble with something that gets your goat in any of your communities, then draft a grievance to City Hall for the Mayor to fix it, instead of squawking pointlessly about it on YT. S'matter? Like wits you ain't got guts neither? You certainly are a Harvard grad & you probably busy yourself writing text books for Yale University when you're not on here being a dedicated dope.
"You just an idiot with nothing to do, go feed your stupid dog." - Such a brilliantly razor sharp touche' that sliced my body & soul to bleed into each other:( You just put me in the hospital bandaged all over. Feeling better now or more than u WISH I was..."with nothing better to do"?
You make Groucho Marx seem worse than you, whenever he tries to go toe to toe with Forrest Gump in a bantering braw.
Give it up ya lil squirt & go pop off like a good lil fail should.
@TheJanka51 Couldn't agree more. There is another version on YouTube that leaves out the dog barking. I am looking for that version now. The barking is very annoying and detracts from the song. I'd bet the version without the dog comes later. Probably not even Patti wanted the dog.

Patti always had a bit of my heart..Songs seemed to be simpler then and much easier to sing along.

I listened to this song as a kid, and I also remember watching Patti Page sing it on TV. I loved hearing the little dog barking....

@SwarthySkinnedOne Song wasn't meant just for you either, keep in mind not everyone wants to hear a barking dog ruin a song.
