Murry must have been the song's original singer, even before the Beach Boys version. This was my high school's theme song, but not alma mater.

I was so thrilled to find this on YouTube. Murry and I were friends back in the'80s and you couldn't hope for a better friend. Whenever I was in town he always took time to show this Norwegian around and to spend time in his home studio. After Murry's tragical plane crash in 1990 I never went back to Nashville. Rest in peace old friend.

I was stationed at Ft Hood, TX when this song was popular. We Gi's would sing it while in rank. Upset the DI very much. I did not know he had passed.
