I learned the song 44 years ago! And was trying to find it on the internet and can't believe I found it!

Very nice, Sammy Kaye and his orchestra had a big hit with it as well in the USA.

This was the theme song for an old animated film called (I believe) The Magic World of Alakazam...

Funny how the brain remembers music so well...even the lyrics of a silly ditty like chickery chick. They don't write fun songs anymore, or at least the music publishers won't accept them. Shame.

I couldn't agree more! He has some fantastic recordings, great arrangements, & IMO, would have given any of the US or UK bigbands a run for their money. It would be good to see EMI release a "Complete Works" CD. They really are an important part of Australia's musical history.
