When I was very small, my grandfather used to play that song for me. I absolutely loved it, so he'd get out the 45 and I'd dance all over the room. Haven't thought about it in ages, but I just emailed him the link--I'll bet he hasn't heard it in years, either. :)
It's an okay song, in that bland-but-pleasant way of much pre-WWII music, but the juxtaposition of that style of music and the spangly sixties wear is giving my brain seizures. *g*
But...it's not pre-WWII. It was written in the 60s.
I can't say much about the song itself since my feelings on it/memories of it are inextricably connected to people and events (though I'm not sure if I would have liked it much had I come across it on my own even a decade later).

I guess I didn't say that well--I know it was written in the 60s, but it's in the style of something from the 30s. And all too well did they do it. *g*
