Piggie: Is this song on a cd?

Hello from Texas!!!

[PIGGIE58]

As far as I know it's not on any of Helen's C.D.s (I have 7). It might possibly be on one of Craig Douglas's.

Thanks again Piggie!

[PIGGIE58]

Yeh, I'm pretty sure it is someone else's Botty wiggling about there.

[LaVerne37]

Is this movie available Piggie?

[PIGGIE58]

I dont think it is available on DVD. I only got hold of this one from an Australian girl on YouTube, who had it in her collection. And she offered it to me, because she only specialises in Australian Stars on her page.

The film was released in America in 1962, but under a different name "RING A DING RHYTHM".

Thank you for all your messages you have posted.

Nice to see Mr Jacobs, Mr Murray and the charming Mr Freeman in the audience.

This video demonstrates what a world class singer Ms Shapiro was and no doubt still is (the best female singer the UK has ever produced).

I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it on TCM two years ago. This is a timeless classic and I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves great music. That being said, this is my favorite song from the whole movie.

"All the cats are doin the Twist". Great stuff.

i new him when he was a milkman on the isle of wight

I spotted Arthur Mullard in that video, he's wonderful.

Helen was very great indeed and in many styles, a phenomenal natural voice. However for me Dusty Springfield was even greater still. Both should stay in our hearts and minds forever!

The version of this song on the original vinyl soundtrack is not the same. It's sung by Craig Douglas only. And the version I have by him on a greatest hits CD is not the same as the one on the soundtrack. It makes you wonder how many versions there were. I like this one though - it should have been on the original LP, along with many other songs featured in the movie like Double Trouble by the Brook Brothers.

Vynikající film v roce 1962 bez konkurence,byl jsem na něm 3krát v týdnu!!

I can't say that I really like the song but I have had a whole new world opened up to me on this web site with Craig Douglas, Billy Fury and Helen Shapiro etc. While a lot of it is covers of American recordings it's still good I like to hear a different rendition of one of my teenage favorites as long as it's good Thanks for the postings
