[SoniaMcLaughlin1]

I am 46 and still think I am a child when I hear this. Love it and Black Beauty which I listened to earlier. You never grow old when you have memories and boy did I have the best childhood, horses, wheelbarrows, wild fruit and a German mum. Goot yah x x x

[Weevilie]

Oh god this brings back so many memories of my youth. Great to hear the song again.

[jukkajylli]

[kisauktak]

Brilliant series, I remember watching Follyfoot as a kid in the early seventies.

[tonystower]

Great song, great theme. I never saw the programme, but loved the song (even though it wasn't "cool"!)

[pennyhpotter]

Oh my goodness. What a wonderful nostalgia trip. Thank you!

[weldon0m]

[GothicAnnamal]

My mum and I are watching the 'Follyfoot' DVDs at the moment.

I wasn't born until 1981, so it's a bit before my time, but I love it!

Arthur English use to do a big cheesy wink at the camera in the credits.

But it doesn't half take me back!

Thanks for posting this. I can't believe it's not available anywhere. I've ben trawling i-Tunes and so on, and this is the best place for it! Once again, thanks.

[KiteSwift]

i'm doing a module on theme songs and my mum told me to look this up.

She also said at the end of the series the lightning tree has a fresh bud on it, so it doesn't actually die. :)

[maninthestreet01]

Oh how times have changed. Would such a programme for children ever be made today?

[tommyperkins]

This came on in a pub this afternoon, while I was eating lunch. Everyone else I was eating with hated it, but being not Everyone, I had to investigate a little further!

[spince2]

70s TV themes were great.

[gillan5]

We loved this series in Germany too. We youngsters were all in love with the main actress.

[LF01211]

Thanks for posting this freat track.

[Stellastar1972]

wow this takes me back. I had this on 7" single vinyl. Listening back to it now - it reminds me of that crazy song that was sung on The original Wicker Man when they all danced round the maypole. It still takes me back to the good old days though. thanks for uploading. From England.

[2pikeman]

[marinarollwa]

So viele Erinnerungen, wenn ich die Musik höre und die Bilder sehe, habe ich sehr nah am Wasser gebaut. Es war einfach wunderbar. Ich bin Jahrgang 1962 und ich werde diese Serie niemals vergessen.
