@TheSteamtramman You're welcome! All the information about the other charted versions is in the description I wrote underneath the video, just click "show more" to read the full description. I suspect you are thinking of Sammy Turner's version from 1959.

Was this sung by someone later? I have a memory it was popular among us in Malaya - say 1953-56. Slightly different to this version. What did we dance to it?
Great fun to hear it again - thank you.
