The first full year of the charts. I was a little taken a back as to how many ‘children’s songs’ actually charted in the early days. Patti Page’s version has barks and all. Did you ever see Demolition Man? That’s what it reminds me of. Further down you’ll see Les Paul (yes, that Les Paul) and I was expecting a rocking little number but it’s actually more like a lullaby.
