I was a youngster when this song 1st made it big time. It is pleasant with a little pep in it and one can daydream a pleasant dream in tune with the music.
Close my eyes and I'm right back in my Navy days, kids were little, first small house, one used car in the driveway, one tv with maybe 5 stations, piano in the den, and we were HAPPY>
Thank God I found this!! I have been hearing this a years and I never knew the name of the song or anything... I had to do some research to find it. but now that I have, I love it :P
@maomikimirai The group Apollo 100 did a version of this song- here is the youtube url: watch?v=yC_R1rQoUq4 Perhaps that is the one you are looking for?
@MrHansglueck That's a nice story. My boyhood friend across the street and his family were German, originally from Wilhelmshaven. Their friendship was like a window into another country, and another world, and I shall always be grateful for it. Best wishes to you, and I'm glad you came to the USA.
Back in '68 my scout pack met in the managers office in Stanwood's Thrifty foods grocery store. It was surreal walking up the stairs past the fake suspended ceiling hanging by wires with Jankowski's A Walk In The Black Forest piping out of dozens of speakers and echoing past us up stairwell, I never forgot it. Great tune,great memories.
Why oh why can't we have music like this today? The stuff they are playing is so irritating. This tune is so catchy and makes you FEEL good. Thx so much for this.
@flagday45 I loved this tune when I was 10 yrs old, and love it 46 yrs later! Some books have been in publication for a very long time and people still love them. Play this one whenever you need a smile to come to your face. It just happened to me!
I used to listen to this on a home made reel to reel tape recorder with a single "Hi Fi" speaker. Recorded it off of a home made turntable with an arm using a steel needle. Remember Burnside-Applebee and Olsen Electronics?
when my mom wanted to relax (while raising 4 boys in the 60's) she would put this 45 on the turntable and let it play a couple times. She would escape to the black forest I believe to get away from us...
The sixties had some pretty good music. Also, there was a lot of competition between kids and adults for musical tastes; tunes like this prospered due to adults buying records as well as the kids. At times, competition for the record player must have been fierce!
Memories, memories, memories of the 1960s...this on the car radio, being in love,....and my younger brother and sister TOTALLY addicted to watching "Dark Shadows" in the afternoon. Life was so sweet.
funny thing about your name strikes me as back in the day, sara lee made a choc brownie that was frozen and u had to thaw it out for about 2 hrs but it was maybe the greatest ANYTHING i ever tasted in my life. but having fun with this in about 1965 when this song came out, the chgo tribune was 10 cents, lbj was going to lead us to the promised land and i was living, eating and the beatles were just the greatest.
Für mich ist dies eine wunderschöne Zeitreise;erinnere mich noch gut daran,als vor 40zig Jahren meine Eltern mit mir einen Sonntags-Schwarzwald-Ausflug gemacht haben&auf der sonnigen Rückfahrt ich auf dem Rücksitz des Borgward Isabellas u.a.diese Melodie aus dem Kofferradio hörte,die so schön passte!Vielen&herzlichen Dank für´s Einstellen!!!
First Cobra went 0 - 96 (or 60 mph) in 4.2 seconds. This with the 260 cu. in. tri-power under it's hood. Then punched out to 289. Same block today is the 302
I really don't care what car was faster. In 1964, Ford ran one hundred Comet Caliente's around the Daytona oval at an average speed of 112 mph. All with the 289-4v 225 BHP (about 175 net). They were ran for 100,000 miles non stop. NOT ONE MECHANICAL FAILURE.. Try that with a modern day Malibu with it's much faster 200 nethp V-6. Source is Motor Trend but I forget the month
The push rod engines from Ford remain to this day as a shining example of Ford engineering in NASACAR, NHRA, SCORE and on..any anyone with half a brain would never tie into a Shelby 289 AC Cobra..any Chibbie that ever did limped away with his rear end snake bit..."FACT"
@paddyosee Excellent question. The reason is that most (if not all) stations these days are corporate-owned and consulted and everything they play is tested and researched to death, and if it doesn't test well, it doesn't get played. How they decide what gets tested I don't know. This song, among MANY others you won't hear anywhere else, IS on the playlist of my Part 15 AM station because *I* alone decide what does and doesn't get played.
@wannawatchu66: PLEASE call this a "piece" as opposed to a "song." A song has words. Unless as it's in Mendelssohn's "Song without words" where he made that clear. Do you ever play Billy Vaughn's version of Nelson Riddle's "Route 66?" It had the strings as in the actual TV theme and chorus reminiscent of the "Saint's theme."
This song was used in the funniest TV advert which I've ever seen. It was an advert for Yellow Pages Australia which involved a young man getting caught in a faulty elevator while this song continually plays in the background. Those who've seen ithe ad will know why it was so funny!
@MrTrashcan1 July 22nd 1965 (46 years ago today as I write this). I left school (which I hated). I got home and the radio was on (my mum was sulking because I had refused to stay on at school for another year and when she was in that mood she'd take it out on the radio and the sewing machine). This tune was playing - so to me it is my freedom tune. I think it was in the Top 10 in the U.K. at the time
Great song. This was the theme to the "Galloping Gourmet" with Graham Kerr (pronounced "care"). Aside from Julia Child the French Chef, this was one of the only cooking shows on TV in the mid 60s. Graham was such a likable personality, he usually spent the first 20 min sitting on a stool laughing and chatting with the live audience, then rushed through the day's recipe in the final segment of the show, sipping wine all the way through.
im going around sining on this anywhere i go, its just to good to be true! this is kinda old, so it may be strange that im 12 and likes it. wait! anyone at all ages will love this song! (im sorry if its bad english, im norwegian)
Holy Underwear, Batman! I've always LOVED this snappy tune! Brings back lots of pleasant memories from when I was a kid in the 60's. MANY thanks for sharing this delightful "blast from the past" with us! You've MADE my day & my week! :)
where can i find the one by herb alpert??? looking all over. did he sing it or just instrumental? also mr acker bilker did a nice rendition of it but it much slower and a little more sugar sweet than jjankowski. tthen there is the organist on youtube that does a beauty but lets all take our hats off to the late horst who recorderd one of the 5 greatest instrumentals of all l time.what could the other 4 be????
Who can remember the good days of offshore radio, we played this track quite often to take us up to the news at the top of the hour! it was great being young & care free.
ah yes the glory days of 1965. leo durocher was about to be named manager of the cicago cubs, sandy koufax was still pitching, the beatles were riding tall in the saddle, a mounds bar cost 10 cents and we all thought that lbj was gonna lead us to the great society. things seldom work out the way we hope.

@raginroadrunner I really don't care. 60's were great fun and the babes were WAY prettier. they actually wore nice clothes. sounds like you just on a permanent downer
@sparwood8 ..and Ford had the 427 Tunnel port side oiler and if it had been released it would have kicked everybody;s ass..sadly Ford turned it;s attention to kicking Ferrari's ass and so they did....three years in a row at Lemans ..Ford management decided there just wasn't any reason to hang around thise European dead beats and quit racing..
@sparwood8 Damn...I had the 426 (Dodge Polara 500 convertible!) and one helluva sexy woman...lost both of them due to extraordinary stupidity...wish I had the car back, but I still love this song!
Who remembers the "Away to Adventure" programme on BBC in the early 1960's which ahd this as a signature tune . Also, anyone remember a similar programme, (name unknown) around the same time of the 1960's with Bill Grundy of Granada fame going on a narrow boat trip from North to South through the UK. What was it called ?
I was a youngster when this song 1st made it big time. It is pleasant with a little pep in it and one can daydream a pleasant dream in tune with the music.

Who remembers the "Away to Adventure" programme on BBC in the early 1960's which ahd this as a signature tune . Also, anyone remember a similar programme, (name unknown) around the same time of the 1960's with Bill Grundy of Granada fame going on a narrow boat trip from North to South through the UK. What was it called ?
