Awww 🐁 My mum used to sing this to me as I have always loved mice, so we kinda share the special song meaning ☺ 🐁 My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy listening to this song but I'm glad someone else appreciates it 😂 xx
I look after my mam she's 85 with alzheimers. She sang the whole song I could barely hold back the the tears. My dad used to sing it in the car on family trips out when I was a kid. I only played it to her as my dog left a toy mouse on the stairs. No clogs involved.
My little sister Cheryl used to love this song she was only 15 months when she died in June 1966 and every time i heard this song it puts a smile on my face i love you my little sister and I always will till we meet again love always
As a child we used to sing this on car journeys, (no radios in cars back then). I then taught it my children (even though we had a radio) I am now teaching it to my grandchildren and they love it. Some tunes whilst they may not be chart toppers stand the test of time, this is one of them. A real sing along for the kids. Long may it continue to be so.
I love this song by Ronnie Hilton. It reminds me of my childhood and It still brings a smile to my face many years later. We have an ornamental mouse on our stairs!! A
Honestly it was so depressing. It was almost like Valerie literally could not accept that her son was a grown man and desperately tries to drag him back to that 'straight boy' that is the only time she feels like she really knows him. But of course it fails because time moves on, and people change, or show more of themselves, and it's just so sad because in the end nobody is really satisfied with the outcome.
This song reminds me of my dad. I grew up in the 80s, and my dad insisted on playing these kinds of songs, which I hated at the time. Now they give me great memories ❤
He used to live around the corner from my aunt in milson road west london ...and I saw him in the corner shop on the corner of faroe road a couple of times
This brought so much memories of my child hood in the 70's we sang it in infant school - i hear it now and i cry how life has gone so quick thanks for the upload
This is my all-time favourite song performed by Ronnie Hilton and I remember this song when they broadcast on the radio for Junior Choice on a Saturday morning as well as playing Goldfinger as far as I remember. A great song for me!
Ronnie Hilton was blessed with a great talent. He had a lovely warm vibrant voice. He was equally at home on beautiful ballads or catchy little ditties like this. One of the best singers the UK ever produced.
my nana sang this to me as a child, now 40+ years later I sing it to my beautiful 14 month old daughter , and it worx same for me as it did for my darling nana,
Grew up listening to this song even though I'm 14 all those 8 hour treks to Cornwall we'd stick on Hello Children Everywhere and for those 8 hours there and back that's what we had!!
I awoke this morning and for some bizarre reason I couldn't stop thinking about this song and trying to recall the tune and words. Isn't the mind a strange thing! So glad I found it here on youtube.
Listening to Ed Stewart Saturday morning r. I. P.. Such great memories as a kid but so m bbc many which are played on Christmas morn with anika rice to relive those good days
Watching this with my 90 year-old mum who could not get it out of her head three days ago. Then two days ago, late at night, I spent about 90 minutes encouraging a mouse to find a route out of my conservatory. (Requiring much furniture shifting in the process). I am intrigued by coincidences like this. Enjoying the song and reading the comments below. The words are somehow so memorable.
I remember my dad singing this as a child forgot the name of the song for years heard it for the first time yesterday in 16 years and cann still hear my dad singing along
I guy I worked with used to sing this, and oh how I laughed. Other people thought we were crazy singing it, but why not. There was a mouse on the stair.
I remember this song in an episode of 'Bagpuss'. I loved it. Somehow I have never forgotten the chorus and tune. I work in a care home and a resident had got 'Alexa' for Christmas but with no subscription to Amazon. We were checking out musicals available. This song came on. The resident laughed and asked if I have heard this. I sang along to this song and have played it many times since. Surprised it never got more notice, since end of TV series 'It's A Sin'
I have family in holland and remember as a child my auntys mother would sing this to me in dutch she has died now but i still remember sitting on her lap listening to the mouse song
I just rang my local pest control firm...when I was put on hold, this was the song that played... So who else is here because of Guildford Borough Council?? :)
@@fcaughli What's crazy about it Fred. He rang pest control. "I saw a mouse, where, there on the stair, right there" playing on the phone. Mouse, pest. Very clever if you ask me.
Just introduced this to my 20 year old daughter, but I'd better not tell you what she said :). But the funny thing is, my husband and I were able to sing the whole thing. How amazing that your dad would have influenced our lives in this way. cheers Sarah
I love singing this song, I always look for that mouse whenever I visit Amsterdam, lovely city, but never found him, my nana used to sing me to sleep with this as a child, now im doing same with my daughter, I have realised why I never found the mouse, it is a case of mistaken identity, I should be looking for a hamster ;) enjoy this, its precious.
I saw a mouse in my house the other day and suddenly remembered this song and now I can't stop singing it !! My husband joined in once and the kids were not impressed . My mouse didn't have clogs on and I've got two cats !
Oh wow. I used to love it when my mother sang this to me as I drifted off to sleep. Can't remember if it helped me sleep, but I loved the song and would ask for it ^^
I like how the song is about a mill in Amsterdam and the video footage is from another Dutch town called Gouda. Didn't know that an english version of this song existed. I only know the dutch version.
I grew up on this song too, taught it to my kids and now I've just taught it to my grandkid's, they love it. We have added our own words though, the mice now wear crocs.....:)
I saw very little of my grandad after my nan committed suicide, he had been and still was an alcoholic to the day he died, he tricked and scammed everyone he met, i don't have many memories but the only one that was good out of three childhood memories i have, was when he took me and my brother swimming absolutely steaming and embarrassed us both singing this song as loud as he could right up to the moment they kicked us out during our swim, i have always laughed in confusion at what the hell he was singing, and i have only just searched the lyrics to this day which brought me here and it has made that memory a little funnier 🤣 so thank you for posting this 👍
I'm 65 and this is right from my childhood, absolutely love it.
59 - same thing..
This is the last song my mum heard before she passed away last night, on my birthday of all days. It now has special meaning for me.
Sending you Love
Genuinely so sorry for your loss, hope you're doing ok now
Hell of a trauma dump
Aww Bless you and your beautiful mum , and its Ronnie Hiltons birthday today . Born 06/05/1927
Awww 🐁 My mum used to sing this to me as I have always loved mice, so we kinda share the special song meaning ☺ 🐁 My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy listening to this song but I'm glad someone else appreciates it 😂 xx
my mum used to sing this to me as a kid!. She died 5 months ago and I keep thinking about this song, I dont know why =(
Miss you mum.
My dad played it to me age 3. Hes no longer here. 🙏. We process in our own time
She must have been a great lady.
I look after my mam she's 85 with alzheimers. She sang the whole song I could barely hold back the the tears. My dad used to sing it in the car on family trips out when I was a kid.
I only played it to her as my dog left a toy mouse on the stairs. No clogs involved.
A great little Song, which teaches Us about the nature of Mice & how it doesn't take long for them to outnumber Us !!! 🐭 😀
@@nobodyanderson4353 I can understand, this song takes me back to very treasured times with my parents. ❤️
This was regularly played by Ed Stewpot for kids on weekend radio. Lovely memories ❤️
Bloody hell man Ed Stewpot? Thanks for the memory.
Same here! Happy days!
My little sister Cheryl used to love this song she was only 15 months when she died in June 1966 and every time i heard this song it puts a smile on my face i love you my little sister and I always will till we meet again love always
tears for you , her , ;-( ! god bless !!

Good stuff
So glad found this. My wife thought I was mad singing this song. I think she thought I'd made it up! I now sing it to my son with pride.
I love this song by Ronnie Hilton. It reminds me of my childhood and It still brings a smile to my face many years later. We have an ornamental mouse on our stairs!! A
My dad used to sing me this song. He later took his own life when I was 15 and my life has never been the same since, I do miss him terribly.
Very sorry to hear about your dad Finn. You will see him again one day
I never felt sadder than with the scene this played in in 'It's A Sin.'
It was so heartbreaking. Despite being a novelty song there is something evocative and emotive about it:) la
saaaaaaame

I'm from Amsterdam, and this puts a smile on my face!
Sounds wonderful to live in a windmill in old Amsterdam, and a mouse
@@ahhabernard1045 and triplets and quins!
According to benidorm this is the Dutch national anthem lol
Yeah because they thought there was dutch
Timeout
This song reminds me of my dad. I grew up in the 80s, and my dad insisted on playing these kinds of songs, which I hated at the time.
Now they give me great memories ❤
This was part of my childhood - with Puff the Magic Dragon, Nelly the Elephant and other such classics!
Puff the magic dragon was about heroin
Qa es SCUBA CHAUFFEURED SF
Yes mine too 👌👌👌👌
@@quint3570 it was about pot…. man.
Yes ditto ❤️
It's a Sin brought me here.
Me too

A classic often heard on Junior Choice. R.I.P. Ed Stewart.
He used to live around the corner from my aunt in milson road west london ...and I saw him in the corner shop on the corner of faroe road a couple of times
This brought so much memories of my child hood in the 70's we sang it in infant school - i hear it now and i cry how life has gone so quick thanks for the upload
Blimely! This is a very early childhood memory, don't know how I know the words, they've have come from nowhere!
This is my all-time favourite song performed by Ronnie Hilton and I remember this song when they broadcast on the radio for Junior Choice on a Saturday morning as well as playing Goldfinger as far as I remember. A great song for me!

I loved this song when I was learning to walk. Never heard it for 30 years, but then it all came back like it was yesterday. Amazing!
I awoke this morning and for some bizarre reason I couldn't stop thinking about this song and trying to recall the tune and words. Isn't the mind a strange thing! So glad I found it here on youtube.

Hello Barbara how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Ronnie was probably Britain's most underrated singer.Used to love hearing him with the Northern Dance Orchestra along with Sheila Buxton.
I had this played on Radio for me on my 8th birthday by my Mom 54 years and 2 days ago.
This is a lovely song from my childhood. It always appealed to me because I love mice ,they're such cute little things
Great song-Ronnie Hilton was a under rated singer!
My aunt has Alzheimer’s and started singing this a few years ago, unfortunately can’t speak much now but still loves to hear this

I remember this song in an episode of 'Bagpuss'. I loved it. Somehow I have never forgotten the chorus and tune.
I work in a care home and a resident had got 'Alexa' for Christmas but with no subscription to Amazon. We were checking out musicals available. This song came on. The resident laughed and asked if I have heard this. I sang along to this song and have played it many times since.
Surprised it never got more notice, since end of TV series 'It's A Sin'
my parents used to play me this on our old gramophone early 70s god we was poor but bloody happy
I have family in holland and remember as a child my auntys mother would sing this to me in dutch she has died now but i still remember sitting on her lap listening to the mouse song
