On this date in 1960 {Feb. 22nd} "Puppy Love" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} and spent 14 weeks in the Top 100.
Ranked 23rd on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1960 chart...
Reached #33 on the U.K. Singles chart...
Donny Osmonds covered version in 1972 peaked at #3.
Was the 4th in a string of 4 straight songs by Mr. Anka to make the top 10; "Lonely Boy {#1}, "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" {#2}, "It's Time To Cry" {#4}, and finally this one.
And they called it puppy love Oh, I guess they'll never know How a young heart really feels And why I love her so And they called it puppy love Just because we're in our teens Tell them all it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night my tears for you My tears are all in vain I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday You'll be back in my arms once again Someone, help me, help me, help me please Is the answer up above How can I, how can I tell them This is not a puppy love.
I remember this song when Disney did their valentine special "Disney's Doggone Valentine Special" The song was played to a montage of the movie 101 Dalmatians!
This song was incredibly popular at the time. The media linked Paul and Annette and built this song around them. It was all untrue of course. I was in love with Paul Anka at nine years old.
We don't get good music like these nowadays. The music we usually hear have no meaning, just a beat. Before, the songs had a rhythm and a beautiful meaning.
OMG! Luv dis song!! & Come on for the person that wrote, a person has not experience "Puppy"love,like 'Duh!" It dnt mean "literally" PUPPY love..We all know that,Puppy love, meaning as,theyre young,not real love,kind of puppy love..
This song starts off the same as his song You Are My Destiny. This one goes off into a more happy, cheerful love song... The other one goes off into a darker but just as beautiful love song. Anyone else notice this or do I spend too much time listening to oldies? :P
Both of the Puppy love versions this one and the Donny Osmond remake are great. Anka was obviously great. He wrote some memorable songs, My Way, SHe's a Lady, this one and many more. Yeah 1 person missed the like button. I bet it was focused on today music. So many bad artists today Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Eminem and now Mr. Eveything the gay-wad Justin Bieber. Wake up people from today. They don't know what they missed out on. Listen to this music only.
Paul was my first "singer" crush! I actually have this 45, but long worn out, still have the red cover. Of course, then I went on to Paul McCartney and then ..okay Clay Aiken. But all great singers! This song will always be special to me!
havent listened to this in a while, the hope and pray part sounded familiar but didnt think it was this songs lyrics... sure enough i check "The Penguins- Earth Angel" and it has the same lines. Come on Paul... for shame lol it was only 5 years before you. either way both extraordinary classics (both almost around 1:17 into the tracks) HA!
Why do people complain just cause someone says they heard it from "Zombie Land", Who gives a shit, the movie introduced them to this wonderful song.
