  • I had a cool English teacher in 11th grade but the administration hated her because she loved the kids and they loved her.  We were more than a paycheck. Kathleen, thanks for the memories.

  • A #1 hit for Donna Fargo on the Country & Western charts. It was the 230th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #11 on the Top 40 charts and #7 on the Adult Contemporary charts. And to the individuals who wanted to sue her over the Skip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah line, please get a life.

  • What a sweet and cheerful song, just what I needed on a gray and rainy day!

  • LOVE YOU!!!!

  • I love this song.

  • I was riding in the car with my mom the other day listening to classic country radio, and this song came on. My mom was so smiley and happy while singing it and I think it is an amazing song. It really makes you feel good. People don't make music like this anymore

  • @silverasian Yes they do, but maybe your heart is not in the same place

    it was back then?

  • @silverasian wow....my momma loved this song too! she was young when she passed....51..... but i can so relate!

  • @silverasian They sure don`t and lol at your mom being smiley and happy, thats awesome and this song brings that out in people that remember those good old days.

  • @silverasian they sure don;t love this song also

  • She sure is one happy girl.

  • I am not a country music fan by any means, but this song always puts a smile on my face whenever I'm feeling low, and I even sing it in the shower and at work. Beautiful song! Is Ms. Fargo still with us today?

  • @ThirdOfJune4444 Yes she is but I Believe that her career, is really restricted travel wise due to her health, and multiple sclerosis.

  • @ThirdOfJune4444 lord yeah she is still alive my grandpa is one of her best friends! they went to school together

  • @kendralynne2010 Wow, that's very impressive! Your grandpa is very lucky! Wish I knew a celebrity! The only one I've met once in person for 2 minutes was Steven Page from the Barenaked Ladies when he was staying at the hotel I was working at. He was hopped up on drugs at the time, but he was nice enough to give me an autograph. Wish I could thank Ms. Fargo personally for singing this song...it gave me a lot of pleasure through some very difficult times.

  • My mother loved this song, god rest her soul..thanx for posting!!

  • This song will always have a special place in my heart. A long with my first and last true love that I lost after I left for overseas in 1972.

  • Thank you, cool.

  • Shania Twain should remake this song, its just too good of a song not to be redone!

  • @MrEricSevert

    I think they should leave this song alone.

  • I was 10 when this great song came out!

  • music today wont endure for you.... but for them. it will. just like THIS did for us. but not for our parents. IE elvis. :P

  • zonde ikhet niet lezen

  • I live in flat Illinois...I was in Arkansas this past weekend and had to take the scenic route since most of the major roads were closed....the scenery was beautiful and the drive took longer than usual...but I was singing this song the entire time

  • ...as much as i love waking up next to you... :D

  • the first time i ever sang this song to my hubby he cried it has been one of his fav for me to do ever since!!!!!!!

  • When I was 9, my parents owned a tavern in Shepardsville Indiana. Every Saturday and Sunday morning I got up early and would go fill the coolers and pick up all the money on the floor. I would play this song on the juke box over and over. This was the song that got me started on country music. I am 52 and still love this song. Thank you for loading it.

  • I'm cool ,but I think there should be a warning ,particularly for the elderly ,on this music about dancing .....I jumped to dance to 'Skippady doo dah '...I'm only 73 , ended up on the floor........'twas the cat....'tween my feet as I was stepping ........Love Donna .....Soon as I get ouy of the cast I'll probably try again.

  • @emerald825 USA is a special place..or least it was. I miss the 1970's USA...it was a better USA.

  • I love you so much Donna!!

  • in da WHOLE USA!!!!!

  • I listened to this as a little girl growing up in Arkansas. It was on a old K-tel album I had. hahaha! Gotta love those old K-tel records. :)

  • Great job, and thanks for keeping these classics that I grew up listening to around! Selfer76, I was just a little kid when this came out, but I can still remember my dad's '68 Chevy truck and my great-uncle's '66 International, and this kind of REAL MUSIC on the radio (AM only back then). When I hear this, I can still close my eyes and see the "I-H" on that truck

  • Oh yea... a North Carolina "gal." This was music!

  • This song brings happiness into the room...

  • I sing this song every year at BEAR Week in Provincetown MA!

  • takes me to good times and life that was so much prettier and just easier. Thanks for posting it!

  • i love donna fargo.

  • Great steel guitar work in this tune!!

  • When this song first came out, my friend Richard and I were cruising the countryside in his 1966 Chevy convertible. He told me that this was his favorite song, I can see why. It's amazing how good music stimulates our minds.

  • i literary haven't heard this song since i was maybe 12 just typed it in and there it was good post . wish there was a country station around me that played just60s, 70s and 80 country, it was my favorite time for that music i just cant get a good feel for most of todays singers.

  • I've just listened to 3 of her songs. My conclusion: Donna Fargo is a woman who likes silly words.

  • There's not a better feeling in the world than to make a girl happy! But I guess it's a tall order!

  • @elrandy11

    Thank you for this OH SO HAPPY share...Can you see my smile? Gr8 upload livingadream2 =)

  • I think the 70's produced the best country and rock music ever. Donna has a beautiful voice. Great song

  • I sang this song all the time when I was about 11. I love it & played her album all the time back in the early 70's. Thanks

  • Oh my gosh! I was such a little kid when I'd hear my mom singing this as she got ready for work. Or her radio alarm would play it! Oh it was so long ago!!! I was maybe 10? Wow.

  • I just found your site. I just wanted to thank you for sharing. This has always been one of my all time favorite songs. Overwhelmed with so many forgotten long time past happy memories of my child hood. It brought tears to my eyes as I sat listening and enjoying. Thank you so very much.

  • I never actually heard this song before. My mama would sing this to me to wake me up in the morning and I never knew what it was. Hearing it made me cry thinking back to when I would wake up and start singing with her. I'm going to sing it to my kids too when I have them. =]

  • i WAS NAMED AFTER HER AND THIS IS THE SONG MY PARENTS WOULD SING TO ME AS A LITTLE GURL... RIP MOM AND DAD

  • Beautiful song

  • This has a favourite song of mine ever since I was a young girl.

  • Love Donna and her Music

  • i love this song so much :)

  • so lovely.

  • Donna Fargo was an English Teacher? I love this!

  • so lovely

  • Donna Fargo was my English teacher as a Freshman in high school, but we knew her as Yvonne Silver then. I remember she played this song for us in class one day before it was released. We kids, not being into country music, just sat there like "Huh'?, giggled, & didn't quite know what to say. That was her last year teaching. Of course, "Happiest Girl" hit the charts & her career took off.  Ms. Silver was a great teacher-fun, energetic, kind, beautiful-and made a truly fond high school memory.

  • @Beetsbaby

    Thanks for sharing that.

  • @Beetsbaby Thats a cool story. I always loved that song. Donna you can tell sang from her heart and felt good while doing it. She has a spirit to her that I just don`t see in singers anymore, maybe one or two here and there, but not like back in the 70`s and 80`s.

  • @Beetsbaby Was she from the deep south. I think she even has a southern draw in the song. :)

  • @3riversnorth Yvonne Vaughn (aka Donna Fargo--a wise name change, IMHO) was born in Mt. Airy, N.C., which was also the birthplace of Andy Griffith & the inspiration for Mayberry, the setting of his shows.

  • @3riversnorth she is from north carolina, which like virginia, is a southern state, but not the deep south. 

  • Donna Fargo has some great songs

  • I used to walk down the sidewalk of my small town singing this out loud when I was 8. I still do. Often enough.

  • omg! thanks for posting this, my mom use to wear this song out,we were the only blacks in the projects listening to country back then, this one and patsy's i fall to peices were my favorites

  • @isaiahsaurus

    I remember my parents playing Charlie Pride and Freddie Fender growing up in the 70's so don't feel odd.

    You're better for it.

    :)

    Good song...

    Nice memories.

    Thanks...

  • @isaiahsaurus

    You're not the only African American who heard country music growing up. Momma used to listen to all the country greats -- Merle Haggard (had a crush on him by the way!), Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Ann Murray, etc. It's great music because country singers have a way singing about the joys and sorrows about life, without being violent or explicit.

  • I love this song my mom use to sing this song to me when i was little and im 31 yrs old now and my moms gone to heaven and evry time i hear it it reminds me of her

  • she is really a pretty woman, I favor brunettes and redheads.

  • did she really write this song sitting on the toilet?

  • was it 1972???...was i really that young?? what great songs that year...and her songs were always on the radio at the time..she was great then and most likely still is....

  • I remember hearing this song for the first time on tha radio back in the 70's I was living it in my dream as it played.

  • lovely song

  • I like this song

  • worshiped a girl named marion over 35 years ago to this song she sung this great miss her

  • All you people who talk about the good old days should remember had the reigns when things started to go bad. You lazily raised your kids blaming their indescretions on tv and sacrificed culture bringing in cheap labour to make companies more profitable so your investments make for a comfortable retirement. The generation before yours made sure your life was good through hard work and discipline. Why didnt you do the same for your kids and grandkids? The truth hurts I know but it's needed.

  • I totally agree, 100%. Well said!

  • During the Spring/Summer of 19 73, this song played 3 times every hour on the hour on every radio station in the country. And it made both kids and adults feel happy everytime it played. Compare this to the 'Top 10' we have now-days. Culture was better 35 + years ago - but it's not gone and it's not forgotten. The stuff kids listen to now doesn't have melody, or happiness, and it will not endure as this has.

  • yes.. todays music sounds like something they wrote while sitting on the toilet after an all night taco and beer party.

  • This beloved gem from 1973 is dedicated to all lovers.

  • From a time when music and the world were better for the most part. Great song.

  • Whenever I had a crush on someone, I enjoy singing this song! Very uplifting and bubbly song.

  • wow this was my mothers favorit song of all time!!! a lot of good memories of her singing along 2 it. She lost her life 2 breast cancer but I would bet she is in heaven still singing along. Tank you posting this
