This popular Danish pianist was born Bent Fabricius-Bjerre in 1924.  And his world-wide hit, "Alley Cat", was originally titled "Omkring et Flygel" (English translation: "Around a Piano").

In 1962 I was 6 and this song was common on the am radio of the time.

@pgh45rpms But the recordlabel? just didnt mean, thet Around the´Piano was a good title, so they made up a story about Bent Fabricius sitting with his cats, and the he made this song, or something like that:-D

Quite possibly the greatest song in music history.

I had this 45 as a kid, looked exactly like the picture in this vid, and I would literally listen to it repeatedly for hours on end.

I guess that's how I learned to obsess on a single song.

Still do to this day.

Aqui en Mexico casi nadie conoce el nombre de esta cancion, pero todos la conocemos por la "cancion de los helados", todo carrito de Helados trae esta canción y nos trae muy lindos recuerdos de infancia, y hasta en estos dias los niños la escuchan, y dicen Mamá cómprame un helado!!! The classical Ice Cream Song here in Mexico.
