Guy Lombardo Tribute Enjoy Yourself

Still Enjoyable at 60 - "Enjoy Yourself" - The most popular version of the song, recorded by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, was made on November 27 (some sources give November 28), 1949. Vocals by Kenny Gardner & The Lombardo Trio vocals The recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 24825.

The record first reached the Billboard charts on January 13, 1950 and lasted 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10.

Contemporary versions have been recorded by Amber, The Specials, The English Beat, The Busters, Todd Snider, and Jodie Holland. However, Guy Lombardo's version is as young and fun as it can be, mostly because of the lyrics.

I remember as a young boy seeing Guy Lombardo on TV at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City for New Year's Eve. They would always play this song and it was really appropriate for the festivity. Great dance number too.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time (I'm 71) -- it should be listened to daily to remind us... it really IS later than we think... we think we're going to live forever. So, pay attention to the ticking clock -- that too is a reminder that the seconds are ticking off, never to return...

I recall watching Guy Lombardo on New Year's Eve in the late 1960's. It was immensely entertaining to watch the dancing crowd become progressively drunk while the trio gathered around a single microphone to sing "Enjoy Yourself". I was in my mid-teens then. This brings back those memories.

Cool song. Didn't realise it was so old, but who cares. Classic stuff will last time and eternal. The song also gives some good advice. Enjoy yourself, cause' we ain't around for long. Shine in your time.

My father had the 45 rpm version and I listened to this when I was a kid...now I am older than my father when he died...this song really makes you stop and think about things...

If more people lived by the lyrics of this song, everyone's life would be a heck of a lot better.
