Quite a pleasant recording altho I still like the Sonny James version best! Was Tab Hunter real? Too clean and pretty for us. Where are the Crew Cuts crew cuts? Popular in the military world as no one could say 'your 'air is too long, Mister.....'
i'm beginning to hate myself. im 25, and i've never had a girl friend.
I was homeschooled up until college,and i've moved from town to town.
I can't believe I have no idea what it's like to be in love.
I guess I can listen to songs like this and just dream.
I remember the furore and publicity over Elvis. Two of us Pilot Officers were ambling along when a Warrant Officer 1 started screaming. When he got closer he said very sarcastically to my 'oppo' "sorry sir, couldn't see your uniform for the hair". It was long and that was a lovely put-down. Needless to say it was round the Mess in a minute. He joined us crew cut crew! Love your pretty girl signature illustration.
Tab Hunter was not a great musical talent..but for this 15 yr old in love his version also had a poignancy of time and place...Simple ditty at rite time for many...
This is too mainstream pop to be a hit. Wonder if they did another take? Stranded in the jungle with my young love. Get put in goal for thiatvtoday.mRic Cartey penned a dollar bringer
Fun fact, the conductor of this song, David Carroll, had two hit versions of the same song, "Melody of Love", one as an instrumental and the other featuring narration from Paul Tremaine.
That's what I did, and continue to do. I didn't have a girlfriend by 25 either, and although I've dated a few girls since then and made some friends, I've never met the girl meant for me and probably never will. So I know how you feel. There is no decent place to meet anyone here either. I just feel that love has passed me by, so I can only experience it in my dreams and imagination.
