Not just the Aussies! From the UK I can remember this song twirling aroung in the early 60's on our record player. My dad was a merchant seaman and brought it home with him and I would think all of our family will remember listening to this song. Thanks so much for posting and for the memories!

I am so thrilled that you posted this lovely song from the 60's. Mind you I was just a child, but I do vividly remember this song being played on the radio at the time.

Tamouré WONDERFUL :) thanks so much!

Australia; Menzies; twilight of Empire; it was a very very heady Pacific cocktail.

And only the Aussies would remember it.

This just popped out of nowhere and smacked us all in the face in '63... debuted at number 4 and the week after was at number 1 ! BIG SUPRISE considering it didnt even crack the top 100 in the US, i wonder who the girls are who sing on the track?

Yes, the radios played this to death back in '63, and we never failed to leap up and sway our hips and arms.....ahhh, such lovely memories....

This song was played frequently on all the Honolulu radio stations back in 1963! Thank you for posting this wonderful memory of living in our 50th State!
