A short look back at the classes of 1961, a/k/a the first "lab rats" who were "treated" to Robert Preston's rousing tune of staying fit. Warning: Even if you've never heard this song before, after watching this, you won't forget it. ;)
Meredith Wilson and Robert Preston, I had no idea. No wonder it was so popular. Exercised to this with Mr. McLaren's gym class at Woodlawn Grade School in the 60's. And we would all sing as loud as we could, "Go you chicken fat go!"
They made us exercise to this song when I was in first grade! 1962 Nauraushaun Elementary School Pearl River, NY. I remember the gym teacher telling us that President Kennedy wanted us to learn this song as part of his fitness program. I haven't heard it in 49 years!
I can remember this playing at gym class in the 60's at Hebron School....ohhh my the nostalgia!!!!

I remember exercising in PE classes to this song in 1973. It has been stuck in my head ever since.
