    This was the first record I ever bought — with a record token I was given as a birthday present. I must have been about three years old it the time.

    I haven’t heard this song for over thirty years, but it still sounds as great as it did back in the 60′s.

    Thanks for posting it online..

    I bought an E.P. with four songs of theirs in the late 60′s.
    I loved it then and I still do.

    I wouldn’t know the names of those tapes. As for songs of that era, how about Benny Hill’s “Ernie” and the Goons’ “Ying Tong song”? I remember the Saturday mornings spent listening to those on the radio durng breakfast.

    My dad bought this back in 1965.

    I’ve always wanted to see the muppets act it out.

    Barry McGuire sounds almost exactly like Jim Henson’s Ralph the dog voice.

    Thanks for posting the vid, I really enjoyed it. I used to play in a rockabilly band in the 70′s, just to earn some money for my mates & I to go on holiday, this was one of the few songs we knew – great fun

    ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY BACHARACH !

    Burt wasn’t embarassed by a lyric that rhymed ‘catch pneumonia” with “never phone yer”.

    Trust me, he won’t mind this one.

    Lovely old record. Brings back some good memories of the mid 60′s, but I;m surprised that the politically correct bores haven’t jumped on it yet and started to criticise.

    Burt Bacharach is known to be embarrassed by this tune now – he really needn’t be. Bob Hilliard wrote the lyrics.
