the first song I can remember to have listened on air and decided to like it, when I was 8 years old, today I like their other hits from 1966 to 1968 a bit more.
Howard and Blakley were such an under rated songwriting duo. Their diverse writing style was just made for DDDBMT to give it their own work over. Brilliant.
Maybe unpublicised rather than under-rated bearing in mind the incredible range and popularity of the hits and successes they had, spanning Elvis Presley, The Herd, The Honeycombs and Matthews' Southern Comfort (under a pseudonym) to the songs for the hit West End musical of Adrian Mole, the unforgettable music for BBC's Miss Marple and such unlikely way-out projects as their brilliant score for maverick psychiatrist and poet R.D.Laing, Life Before Death. Their work speaks for itself.
I cliked this on again just thinking of Dave Dee It just makes me sad to hear hes no longer with us I know he will be sadly missed by all his fans !R.I.P. Dave xx..Lyndloo..
Another great tune! Dave Dee, a great singer of the sixties has left us with just our memories of him and Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich... I saw them in concert a few times, which was an awesome experience!
When I was a little kid in the 60s we had a phonogram radio, about 8 feet long like a sideboard, and I used to love to dance about to the top 20 countdowns. But I don't think anyone got me off the sofa quicker than this lot! God bless, Dave Dee, 9.1.09.

Brilliant song - on the surface cheerful but actually quite sad and even bitter.

Die Musik von Dave Dee und Zeitgenossen hat mir stets mehr bedeutet als das rote Gequatsche unserer Lehrer.

Great song - like most of their songs two faced: happy on the surface but with undertow of sadness and bitterness.

Existe uma versão em português desta música com Renato e seus Blue Caps em 1968 aqui no Brasil, valeu!
