Am I the only who's creeped the fuck out by the ragtime piano?

[VinylNostalgia]

@Magnificocadaver - Yep,  I think you are!

I hate this song with a passion... its my kryptonite in this world... so why do I keep listining to it...

[VinylNostalgia]

@Nickzilla22 - It's one of those songs that after hearing it you just can't get the tune out of your head for days.

For some reason, I associate this song with "Sally Go Round The Roses" by the Jaynetts, probably because that song is also from 1963 and sung by a girl group.

This peaked at #9 in 1963.

@Magnificocadaver That's a Ragtime/Dixieland song. Of course it has a ragtime piano.

Loved this song...took it to the skatin' rink so they'd play it . Would love to skate again but at my age I'm afraid of breaking a hip !

ha! kryptonite! this is meant to be goofy creepy and for the sheer stupid joy of being daft.

I creeped an ex with this song when my buddies and I danced a congo line to this song at a 50's diner

A great early 60s little retro-ragtime song .. what the hell is wrong with it, all you criticisers out there. It really moves along .. from start to finish. The piano middle solo riff is somethin' else, man .. right in the groove. The solid banjo back-beat is also an oustanding feature of this cute little number.
