@@IVORIESMAN I’m very thankful that you uploaded it. I always told myself that somewhere out there a 78rpm copy did exist of this song.

@@samuelharang5742…being a 1963 issue the vast majority were issued on 45rpm format. Brazil was one of the few countries still producing 78s at this time so copies are rare to say the least.

Wow this takes me back. My brother's first ever 45rpm. He must have been about 10 years old. Love the bit "you're getting good!"

…yes I was a nipper as well when this first emerged - I remember being ‘confused’…

Another classic which everyone remembers and amusing too! I recall BBC animated puppet short film on this one.

…for me a novelty song at best, I got this really cos of the 78rpm format.
