According to a compilation album that I have with this song, it says that the Tokens (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) provided the backgroung vocals. Great song.
@TheScarab1975 sounds like it they are on a lot of records they had their own record company bt puppy records the lion sleeps tonight was playe on the radio over 1 billion times
@archie977 Sorry about the ads but YouTube has now placed these in front of several of my videos. I don't know on what basis they have selected certain posts, but I guess I'll have to live with it since I can't do anything about it.
One of those songs that acts like a time machine for me..I can almost taste the food I ate, I can smell the air I breathed, I can feel the youthful energy I had at 18 years of age, I can remember falling in love with this guy...wow...
I have noticed, how older persons rave about their memories, and younger persons are amazed at how there was life before them. it seems these young people are noticing something us older folks are missing , generally, That is the fact the media for storing and retrieving cultural events is so advanced as compared to the technology of our time(s). It warms me, to see the appreciation they have fro the music. We had no way of experiencing oldies when we were young.
@Nocaro---is she a model who is currently young or is she a model from the past. Her clothes and especially her hair style look very "60's". Just a quick question.
@FishOnTwoWheels That happens a lot. One version flops, then another succeeds, which causes the first version to start selling, either because some people hear both and like the earlier one or they just confuse them.
Wow! talk about being brought back in time !! Along with the Rascals, Buckinghams, Lou Christie,and a few others, this song held a priceless little segment of time in the 60's ... It felt so good to hear it ... I will be forever grateful for being a teen at that time ...
people think this was about a normal temp. but i remember years ago he said it was about a radio station he wanted to get his record on. if so ,great idea ...tommy
I'm kind of a Beatles/Zep guy, but with the exception of 1 Zep tune, I don't remember the FIRST time I heard any of their songs. For some reason I do remember the first time I heard this back in 1976, know exactly where I was, time of day etc... As far as I know, today is the 2nd time I heard this song, never forgot that line "Hey 98.6 it's good to have you back again..." Too cool, great memories, thanks for posting this!
Being a person of color i thought i couldn't listen to music like this, until i became my own person when i was twelve years old. Don't limit yourselves folks. Life is to short.
i was a weird kid....I listened to nothing but oldies in elementary school....and this was one of my favorite songs. so when I hear it it reminds me of when I was in 5th grade (even though it was in 1997, haha). Thanks for uploading!
I was not yet a teen, (almost) when this was released it was the best of times and the worst of times. The same for the music. This being an example of what I thought to be really great, it was one of my favorites. thanks. Did'nt he do" roses and rainbows are you", too?Thanks for the posting, Nocaro.
One of the most perfect singles ever made. And the flip side, The Teeny Bopper Song wasn't hard to take, either. Thank God that Professor Keefer is still with us.
Thank you so much! Most of the world, me included, only ever heard this on mono AM radio....in the '63 Valiant/Comet/Scamp......LOVE THIS!!!..it's a bit hard to be quite so optimistic these days, but we will doggedly (woof!) continue to try.
@pep103 the golden years of america 1945-1980... the judge who sentenced the chicago seven will be sodomized for eternity by the devils six foot long cock.... reagan the republicans and the dems who sold carter out will meet the same fate... trust me I know I saw it when I had an awakening...
@lockenjr ...Dude wake up, Carter was our worst president ever according to historical survey!!!!!! remember the gas lines ....oil for 85 bucks a barrell....iranian hostages???...people confidence was at the lowest ever recorded...and the whole world are laughing at us ...so with the arabs coz they have us in a barrell....carter just sit there doing nothing..moping...with self pity?????? if you don't remember these, i believed you are into something worst that "high" during those years!!! Peace
@010bobby you must be high to disagree with what I said... Carter best ex president ever yes he was a soft mopper that I will agree with but dude reagan ruined us my man with a lot of helps from sell out dems for sure....
I used to have a phillps cdi karoke disc that had this song on it!! I used to sing along with it! I love the music of the 60's! im 27 and i hate most of todays music!! I love the the music of the 60's,70's and the 80's!!
No, some Chinese girl in grade school used to call me that name though I never quite understood why she did. One of those weird elementary school things I suppose.
This was one of my all time favorite songs of the 60's.There was something magical about it.Keith was the man,i played this 45 til the needle wore thru to the other side,never get tired hearing it,thank you for the posting,brings one back to a wonderful time,thank you!
YouTube is great that we can bring back so many memories along with long lost videos that we may have never seen in the past. I guess that there is a whole generation of us out there wishing we were back in the 60's.
@sixtiesforever1966 Right on my friend. I was born in 1960 and don't regret it, one bit. Many kids, from other postings, express the same sentiment, that they wanted to grow up during the 1960s. I have two , 66 Chevelles, and younger folks ask me: "Do you want to sell it?" Even they know a classy thing when they see it.
I love the 1960s and the great music, such as 98.6 that came along with it!!!
@pigurine Hi. I turn the BIG 50 in a few short weeks. I love the 1960's too. I used to frequent my old Elementary School on my days off, and after the kids go home. Lots of reminiscing of the most fun, carefree and tasteful time in our nations history.
@pigurine "The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great. " Abbie Hoffman in january of 1970
@pigurine Me to even though I was born in 1966, I never forgot this wonderful music as I was growing up. I'm extremely happy, that my older sister was into stuff like this it always stuck with me.
@GuyinCa You won't find this kind of music so much on radio stations. It's getting rare to hear oldies anymore. Rap/Hip Hop (of which I hate and loathe has killed most of the good stations.
@pigurine I was born in Sept of 68 and lucky to have been born in a great decade. My mother was an antiwar protester at the time and perhaps I heard the music and the demonstrators from inside the womb that's why I like that era and music. This song came out in Feb of 1967. The summer of 1967 was Hippie haven in San Francisco. If you have been to San Fran the Haight Ashbury area is more commercialized than it was then.
@pigurine I was born in 68. Lucky me I guess! 68 was a turbulent year. Bobby Kennedy's death, Martin Luther King's death, Riots in Chicago, Olympic protests in Mexico City, Vietnam war. Someday things will return to the way they were. You wait and see. Internet will be a thing of the past and same with cell phones.
@rbsvy91368 inet, cell phones , microwaves and "such" are wonderful conveniences BUT, i would trade them in a heartbeat to go back to those times we of that age experienced. Sorry, but i've lived a bit longer than you and inever see us returning to things "the way they were." In fact, life will continue to become more technological and less personal. Just look at the fanaticism over every apple iphone product that keeps coming out. Medicine will continue to improve and THAT's a good thing.
Aww, this is the first time I've heard the real recording of this song, but it makes me smile. My mom used to sing this song to me every time she took my temperature as a kid and it came out normal, at 98.6.
This song transcended rock and roll. I was fighting 106 degrees for weeks with staph and I could have died. I wished to be 98.6. But the song soothed me. It took me to a nighttime, urban, romantic world.
That takes me back. If I remember right, when this came out I wasn't even old enough to consider buying a 45. Methinks my big brother must have had it as I recall playing it on the old record player.
A lot of memories come flooding back hearing this.I was 20 when I heard it on a pirate radio station, it became an overnight success in England and I've tried to get a copy for years! Thanks so much for sharing it, it brought tears to my eyes..
I've just read about it in the old Mojo magazine in One Hit Wonders column and had to check it out since it has these magical words "Good morning sun, I say it's good to see you shining". Super-song.
I was about 7 when I first heard this cool song.

This song transcended rock and roll. I was fighting 106 degrees for weeks with staph and I could have died. I wished to be 98.6. But the song soothed me. It took me to a nighttime, urban, romantic world.

I remember this song when it was new.
I loved it then and still do.
In fact, even more.
98.6 gets better as time goes by.
Thank you.

Whoa!
That takes me back. If I remember right, when this came out I wasn't even old enough to consider buying a 45. Methinks my big brother must have had it as I recall playing it on the old record player.

A lot of memories come flooding back hearing this.I was 20 when I heard it on a pirate radio station, it became an overnight success in England and I've tried to get a copy for years! Thanks so much for sharing it, it brought tears to my eyes..

Oh wow, this song is fantastic!
I've just read about it in the old Mojo magazine in One Hit Wonders column and had to check it out since it has these magical words "Good morning sun, I say it's good to see you shining". Super-song.
