I remember when this song was popular in 1962. Not too long before it's release, Nikita Khruzchev (then premier of the then Soviet Union) had visited the USA. Upon attending a jazz performance, Mr. Khruzchev pronounced jazz as decadent. Because of his statement, I don't it's a coincidence that Kenny Ball did this song...being it's a very old Russian folk song, much loved by Russians.

@tinkmarz1 Too bad he couldn't hear rap.

I first heard this song about nine years ago, driving my old work truck home from a job out of town. It only had an AM radio in it, and I was surprised to hear a song come on that I had never heard before. I listened to this song on that station for 3 years before the station went off the air. The song was never named, nor was the recording artist. It has been 6 years since I have heard this song, and I just happened to stumble onto it tonight. Thank you so much for posting this song!!!!!!!

This song may just save my life tonight.

I heard this song played at the end of a funeral service. It was completely surprising to hear it erupt out of the speakers - joyous, celebratory and fun! The moment will stay with me for a long time. What a tribute to a life.

This was popular when I bought my first transistor radio- it would be on the radio every night-it reminds me of my youth- love it.
