I'm watching the "I Love Lucy" episode where they go to see "The Most Happy Fella", and this song was in it. I had to find it on YouTube, and I'm glad I did. :)

Ernie Kovacs as the German DJ Wolfgang Saurbrauten introduced this as "Gestanden on der Korner Vatching alles der Girls Go Goosestepping By" - then played it played a version played on an accordian!

Love this song, but "watching all the girls go by" now is sexual harrassment and stalking! Ha ha , how times have changed.

Thank you for posting this one! I was only 6 when this came out! Even then I could recognize great music! Still one of my favourites and The Four Lads a fabulous group, from Toronto I'm proud to say! Again my thanks for including this!

Brother I tell ya, this takes me back to my childhood. Palling around at the burger joints, when a quarter got you a burger, coke, and bus fare home. Ladies wore skirts and kept their hair neat, men wore leather jackets and slicked their hair back. Men worked hard and women ironed, and if you helped your ma with the ironing you got to stay up to watch the Ricardos and Mertzes weasel their way out of yet another jail sentence... oh wait nevermind, I was born in 1990.
Didn't the Four Lads do "If You Will Marry Me"?

Yep. I have posted that song, though it is titled The Bus Stop Song since it was used in the 1956 Marilyn Monroe movie 'Bus Stop'.

I was 16 when this came out -- was a big hit then and one of my favorites at the time. Also, they had a big hit called " Istanbul (not Constantinople)" -- The Four Lads -- very popular in the 50s.

Yep, Istanbul is one of my favorites. Got that on here somewhere, too. CDB
