The Stargazers - The Happy Wanderer free for downloading

This sweet innocent song hit the world like a burst of sunshine when it came out and EVERYONE was singing it! I learned it at Boy Scout camp back in '54 and never forgot it. I've taught my kids and now grandkids to sing it, as we "go a-wandering along the mountain track". Instead of the ugliness we hear over TV and radio, why can't somebody write some GOOD MUSIC? Closest was the number by the barefoot Brazilian guy a few years ago called "Hey, I Love You". Cute.

My local ice cream van used to play this...

I was about 8 when my Uncle taught me this on the harmonica and we would play duets.

Listening in 2020 anyone?

The sopranos brought me here

Who came to this because of Red Dwarf?

My dad learned this song in Boy Scouts back in the early 60's. Many decades later he sang it to me when I was a baby.

I was born in 1956 and as a small child was given a plastic wind up record player for my 5th birthday along with this record to play on it. My first ever record.

one of my primary school teachers used to sing this to me and my friend whenever we asked her to. she never got tired of singing it to us, brings back good memories :)

My nan passed away 5 weeks ago today. She loved this song, we played it at her funeral xx

This was the theme song of a 1960's travel show in Los Angeles called surprisingly enough "The happy wanderer." It was hosted by a most jovial man named Slim Barnard and his equally delightful wife. A wonderful memory from a much happier time.

One of my earliest musical memories.

The first time I heard this tune was in the Amstrad game, "Roland In Time". It wasn't until years later that I heard the full song with words.

I sing this every time I do laundry. "Laundry. Laundra. Laundry. Laundra-a-a-a-a-a...."

Montreal Expos documentary brought me here. I love this beautiful, silly song!
