Thank you, thank you ,thank you.You have no idea what finding this means to me and my family. It was my mother's favourite party song. She passed away last November and we could only find it by another artist to have played at her funeral.

Am I able to put it on CD I wonder ????

@muzicfreek09 There are various websites and softwares to download and convert YouTube videos to mp3's. Just google "YouTube to mp3"

Eureka!!! I first heard this song in my late teens on WCAO-AM in Baltimore, and have been looking for it for decades now. It did not get a great deal of airplay nor appeal to the groovy teeny boppers of the time; but to many of us oddballs, it was sublime.

I remember having heard this recording when I was nine years old. A real toe-tapper!

@RickenbackerBeatles Yep I have done that. Thank you again.

@WABC77 Hi! As Ding Dong came first it would be rather hard to

sample it for Lapland - would it not??!! Plus no one had ever heard of

"sampling" at the time. Nevertheless - copy many of the ideas a few months later - Jubilee certainly did to try to capitalize some more on the earlier Fifth Estate hit !!

@aldiakaroofus  Lapland was released 6 months after Ding

Dong! and was Jubilee's attempt to cash in some more on the

earlier Fifth Estate hit !!

I still have this 45 and I always liked the B side "Condition Red" better. It's amazing what made the airwaves side by side in the 60s and early 70s... The Stones on one minute, followed by something like this the next, then back to the Beatles or Supremes, followed by something like "Peanuts" by the Sun Glows (which sounded like a polka) .... I miss my AM radio childhood ...probably one reason why my musical tastes are so diversified.

This and "Ding Dong" aren't formally related, except by record label. I believe the theme pre-dates this recording. Doesnanyone have any background they can share? Thanks in advance.
