- This song by "The Murmaids" who were an American one-hit wonder all-female vocal trio, composed of sisters Carol and Terry Fischer; and Sally Gordon from Los Angeles, California, released this song in January 1964, and it reached to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100...
Really captures the 60's decade here...
Really great choices!! WOW!!! Impressed!
Yes. More than most songs from that era.
song brings tears to my eyes i thing of all the good times i had back then now you can't do anything
Great Girl Group harmony those Murmaids. Perfect tone and real gone talents of yesterday. Wow!
I was browsing through my moms 45s and found this little gem! So happy to have it in my playlist now!
RIP Terry, lead singer of the Murmaids
She died in 2017 with what I was battling. It really affected me but I got through it. RIP
God bless you Terry .You song will always be a favorite of mine.What a gentel and sweet song.Unike the trash you hear today.Fly high in heaven for you are true angel.
You got me with this one, Carl! Never heard of this song or the band. But I am enjoying it.👍🌞
Hello Vic, i don't think there will be many people in the UK that will know this one.. i only made this one up yesterday, it took me about an hour, it was meant to be for a later date, but i thought "what the heck i will upload it before i go to bed", and am pleased i did as it seems to be going down quite well.. Cheers mate, have a nice weekend...
1800 views in two days? That's incredible - well, it would be for my channel LOL!
Such a beautiful song ❤️
This song was written by Oklahoma native David Gates, founder and lead singer of the 1970s pop supergroup Bread.
Bread wasn't a supergroup. A supergroup is when individual stars join forces.
Good evening dear friend 😊
Wonderful music and video
Beautiful weekend for you
Greetings , Lolo 😊🌹🙋
Thanks Lola, nice to see you here.. Glad you enjoyed the video, have a nice weekend my friend...
Wonderful music and wonderful times!!! I love it👏👏👏thanks for sharing!!!
Pleased you liked it Anna, thanks for watching and commenting, have a fun weekend...
Fantastic video to go with this great song. I wss born in 77 but I remember listening to my dad's records and I fell in love with this song a long time ago ❤ thank you for this.
Thanks for your nice comment Susie, and pleased your dad has got you listening to some of his records, am sure you don't need me to tell you that music from the 60's and 70's was some of the best music ever recorded, and far better than what's out these days.. Some new music i like, but not much of it.. Have a fun weekend there... Carl
Great song!
Thanks Steve, pleased you liked it...
Great memories with this song, I was only 8 and remember it well. The hit song "Navy Blue" by Diane Renay also reminds me of that exact point in time... I had no idea David Gates wrote Popsicles until reading these comments today.. wow.
I love this Song! I wasn't born near this era.. but truly enjoy and appreciate all the types of music - well almost any era almost any genre.. What would we do without music?
How good is this footage. Loved seeing the old cars all lined up on the street. Excellent song choice Carl thoroughly enjoyed cheers Nathan 👍
Hi Nathan, i also like looking at all the old cars, but i also like just seeing people in these old videos just going about their daily lives, seeing the clothes they wore etc, it's like going back in time.. Pleased you enjoyed the video mate, have a great weekend there with your family, i'm going out tonight for a Pizza...
great singer and song thanks for this
You're very welcome, thanks for watching..
Popsicles, icicles, baseball and fancy clothes
These are a few of the things he loves
He loves Levis and brown eyes
And wind blowin' through his hair
These are a part of the boy I love
If you put them all together
Much to your surprise (oh tell me what)
You'll find a bit of heaven
Right before your eyes
Bright stars and guitars and
Drive-ins on Friday night
These are a few of the things we love
(May be) silly but still he is
Just what I dream about
Yes, he's the boy that I love
If you put them all together
Much to your surprise (oh tell me what)
You'll find a bit of heaven
Right before your eyes
Bright stars and guitars and
Drive-ins on Friday night
These are a few of the things we love
(May be) silly but still he is
Just what I dreamed about
Yes, he's the boy that I love
Popsicles, icicles
Popsicles, icicles, hmmm
Hello dear Carl, thanks for the excellent video fantastic images my friend 👍🌺 👍 i wish you a nice Friday and fantastic weekend 🍀 friendly greetings Jutta 🌼
Thanks for your nice comment Jutta, and pleased you liked the video.. Have a fun weekend my friend, greetings to you and family from the Philippines...
1963 looks like it would've been a nice time to visit for a day
yep all my family would be alive again
Love the song, the footage was pretty amazing too!
So pleased you enjoyed it, i always think it's better seeing footage of the time a song was released, it gives one more of a feeling what it was like back then.. Thanks for your great comment, have a nice weekend there...
gracias y compartido
Many thanks Vito, have a nice weekend my friend...
brilliant colours 1960s within such a beautiful song
The color is spectacular. Looks like NYC in 1963. And the 45 RPMs! Would love to go back: met the only love of my life in '63. Finally not broke and going to the expenses to look her up. 😘💋♥️
I GREW UP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MOVEMENT!!
The song was written by David Gates ( from Bread ) when he was 17 years old....Carol and Terry Fischer and Sally Gordon was in a high school glee club .....David got these girls to record Popsicles and Icicles in 1964 ...it was a hit song.....I wrote to Sally Gordon now lives in France....she is a piano teacher....she said the Murmaids didn't make anything from the song....
It hit the airwaves in 1963 and peaked on the charts in 1964.
Them not making a dime.is really fdup
Very nice lady.
I don’t know why, but every time Iisten to this song I get this weird nostalgic feeling. Like a far away old memory of a feeling or moment that hasn’t happened to me in my life. I know it probably sounds stupid, (especially since this song came out a 40 years before I was born😂), but I can’t shake this feeling of this distant memory every time I hear it. It’s weird..
Perhaps you were born out of your time?
Perfect statement!
music has that quality. to transform us. to take us into a different time and dimension. this song especially.

Oh....those high school crushes! Let the memories flow. Thank you!
Haha, that's the way to go Diane, nobody can take them memories away.. Thanks for watching...
Замечательное видео! Посмотрела с большим удовольствием! Спасибо! 👍👍👍

Thanks very much, pleased you liked it...
Amazing!!!Thank you!!!
Thanks for your great comment Irani, it's much appreciated...
Hi, great video and song. The past is always live in memory. Thanks. Pino
Hi Pino, yeah nothing brings back them memories more than music does, when i hear certain songs it takes me straight back to my childhood, thanks for watching, have a nice weekend there...
heard this first on the wispering Bob Harris show Radio 1. love it.
You know what Aaron, i have never heard this one on any UK radio station before, i first heard it on my friend Mike's YT channel, but that's going back a few years now.. Thanks for watching my friend, have a nice weekend...
i co-run a fb page facebook.com/groups/952841358202820/ you should come and say hi.
it was when Radio 1 was a proper station back in the 80's
My gosh don't i miss the 60s.....
I occasionally love listening to this song. So sweet melody and lyrics. The video is charming. Happy young people shopping and trying on colorful clothing.
So nice song''thanks
happy weekend
Glad you liked it Lola, many thanks for watching, enjoy the weekend my friend...
The wide eyed innocence and simple instrumentation of this jewel is still breathtaking to this day. It was a hit just as our world was about to turn sideways (between the assassination of President Kennedy and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles). Nobody today dares do what the Murmaids (and David Gates) have accomplished here. That's how important this record is.
Donald Morrow Gosh, I remember that period of time. I was only 6 but I remember. We were in school, P.S. #30 in Rochester, NY, and our teacher told us the terrible news about the president. A few months later, there was this tremendous, exciting buzz all around our neighborhood and even at home .... about this thrilling new band from England called "the Beatles", and they had *long hair* and combed it down! What a momentous few months those were, you're right!
Your post gets a 5-star rating in my (unpublished) 'YT Top Comments'.
Donald, I believe this song was recorded as much as 6 months before it became a hit, so it definitely preceded the late November assassination. It became a hit in San Francisco, then LA and by November '63, was getting played nationally. It hit #1 in early '64.
I remember it was #1 on KYA in San Francisco in late November 1963. @@690wape
I remember this song however I did not know those gals were so beautiful!!!
My favorite oldie!😂
Great too hear the 60s again keep the faith alive
I sure will Richard, i have always said the 60's was the best decade ever for music and singers.. Thanks for watching...
TheOldrecordclub Takes me back to when I used to go to the Ace cafe on my old Royal Enfield 250cc oil box and then went to the 59club Rock and Roll keep the faith alive
My Mother loved this song, I remember her playing it on vinyl when I was little. Beautiful song ❤
Thank you for sharing 😉
Me too, my late mother had this one in her record collection.. Many thanks for watching...

A piece from a book that I wrote a few years ago.
Black, white, male, female, gay, straight, soul, blues, rock, hard rock, boogie-blues, country, teeny-bopper, doesn't matter. If I like it, I like it. This obscure but snappy 1964 tune, with great vocals and background, is from three Southern California innocents who hit the charts out of nowhere. Right in the eye of an incredible pop-music hurricane that included the English Invasion, Motown, Country and endless varieties of everything in between. While Popsicles Icicles seemed incongruous to its time, there were certainly enough record buyers who thought otherwise. I still like this record. That either makes me Pter Pan or someone with an eclectic appreciation of pop music.
Several television family comedies of the period were similarly out of sync. This form of escapism had its place then but was mostly phased out as the decade closed. Leave It to Beaver, Dennis The Menace and My Three Sons were popular during or a little prior to the civil rights movement and Vietnam in a convulsively changing nation. Don’t forget that in just three more years, many of America’s cities were ablaze during race riots.
While this song is about adolescent puppy love, the TV shows portrayed an idyllic, secure and safe suburban lifestyle. This top forty tune represents to me one of the last cutesy, naive cotton candy numbers of innocence in a culture as yet completely sullied by the rapidly darkening, fracturing, and turbulent society that was then in its infancy. Reality is here, there and everywhere. So are illusions. The Dick Clark world of 45s, bubble gum, soda fountain drug stores, ice cream parlors, skating rinks, turquoise Corvettes, and checkered diner floors, would start to recede by the decade's end.
Kennedy had been shot the previous year and the Cutler family of In Cold Blood had been brutally murdered five years in the past, but this tune might’ve played on the diner Seeburg not far from Beaver’s house. But now there’s an old drug needle on his lawn. Dennis The Menace went to a carnival and this played on the radio at the hot dog stand. But now Mister Wilson’s neighbor has an ugly gang tag on his fence. One of My Three Sons is trans and another is dealing. The cotton candy doesn’t do it anymore. And the wind blew the carnival of old illusions away. Only to replace them with new ones. Where have you gone, popsicles, icicles? Illusions nowadays are not what I want to play.
I Love This Song & This Music
Great song.
High school music! 💕
Wonderful sharing my dear Carl , Thank you ❤ Wish you a lovely Week ❤ much love greetings ❤ Jeannette
Thanks very much Jeannette, you have a great weekend over there and take care...
I loved this song and awesome vid Carl.
Hello Malou, it's quite a catchy tune ain't it.. Thanks for watching, have a nice coming weekend there...
GREAT SONG, WRONG TIMELINE ON THIS VIDEO THOUGH. IM OVER 80 YRS. OLD AND I REMEMBER THIS DECADE AS THE BEST IN MY LIFE. THE FASHION OF THIS TIMELINE IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES GOES LIKE THIS: FARAH SLACKS, STRAIGHT LEG...GOLD CUP SOCKS....GANT SHIRTS WITH LOOPS IN THE BACK....WEEJUN SHOES......OXBLOOD BELTS.....AND SHORT HAIRCUTS..... AND LETTER SCHOOL SPORTS JACKETS. NOW AS FOR ME: AS FOR 1959, I HAD ALREADY SKIPPED TWO GRADES AND THE GOVERNMENT CAME TO VISIT ME IN MY HOME IN KEY BISCAYNE FLA. TO JOIN THE ARMY WHEN I GOT TO BE 16 IN 1960. I HAD VERY LONG HAIR DOWN TO MY ANKLES, HALF BREED. I WORE LEVI JEANS, WHITE SOCKS, ENGINEER BOOTS, WHITE T-SHIRTS AND BLACK MOTORCYCLE JACKETS WITH MANY ZIPPERS. I WAS NEVER INTO ANY TYPE OF FASHION FOLLOWING.
OMG!! Beautiful awesome video,so captures the feeling and trend of the era,can't thank you enough thanks for this gem!!!
Beautiful: video, song, lyrics, arrangement, production, lead vocal, record. 1963 - the year of sweetness in music.
Carl, I have not heard this one in ages and mate I just loved the footage that you used from the days long gone - my what good time they were. Shops actually had put a nw LP on and not just stream the continual drivel that some do in this modern world. Loved it mate and real classic. Thanks for the share and have a wonderful weekend.
Hello Andre, oh i love watching old video clips of time gone by, as i have said to you before, i love history, and some old footage can really take one back in time, and when a bit of music from the same time period is added, well i think it sometimes brings some old footage back to life.. Many thanks for watching my good friend, have a fun coming weekend there...
Hi Carl.. Always liked this song- it's nice to hear it again. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, my friend! Carol
Hello Carol, it's not a song one hears that often, well not in the UK anyway, sO pleased you enjoyed it.. Many thanks Carol, have a fun weekend there...
never saw a record player that little and I was only 10 when this came out
I was 8, which as of yesterday was 60 years ago, when I got a little red record player for Christmas. It came with three 45's.This one and the other that I can remember, Tommy by Connie Frances.

Really like the 1960's film footage you used to go with this song.
Thanks Andy, i got quite a lot of footage like this, and hope to use more in some future videos.. Appreciate you watching...
Great! Look forward to seeing more very much :-)
I'm the same age as this song. Wow! I guess I'm considered an oldie. LOL 🤣🤣
Oh so wonderful, thanks for this video and song dear friend Carl....
many greetings, Lolo from Germany
Thanks Lolo, appreciate your comment, have a nice coming weekend there in Germany...
Nice one, Carl ! LOL..I just sifted through this album the other day, but did not play, because of the Winter season..LOL.. Everyone is freezing these days, waiting for summer !
Nice video, and have you a great weekend !
I wish i had some of your winter weather here Rich, am so hot today, have got all my electric fans on me, my homemade wind tunnel as i call it lol, but i still feel hot.. This is the only song i have by "The Murmaids" but i would like to hear a few more of their songs.. Cheers my friend, have a fun weekend...
I think I could enjoy that, right now ! I am not much of a cold weather

Wonderful upload, Carl! Thumbs up 👌👌👌👌

Thanks for watching and commenting, have a fun day there my new friend...
Brilliant production here Carl! I'm familiar with the tune, it still receives airplay on Seaview 104.9 FM. 🌊🌴😎
Cheers mate, pleased you enjoyed this one, i can tell ya now it's never played on any radio stations back in the UK lol, well not that i know of anyway.. Many thanks for watching...
Lyrics so simple yet brilliant. Written by the great David Gates who turned in to a spectacular songwriter. To think he was a teenager himself when he wrote this.
wow loved it! thanks
So pleased you enjoyed it.. It's nice to take that trip down memory lane once in a while.. Thanks for watching...
Great post Carl! This song was written by David Gates of "Bread". I'm sure Bread must have had a few hits in the UK!
Oh i am a big fan of the band "Bread" .. They had many good songs in the UK, but never a number 1 if my memory serves me right.. cheers Ron, have a fun weekend my friend...
Thank you Carl, I hope your weekend is great too!
The styles back then compared to today seem normal but I imagine the older generation were shocked
rip terry 🙏😭
LOVE!!!
xoxo The Clarences
HI Carl , One I missed while off YT , this is fantastic , never heard before and brilliant footage , no one wears any original style anymore these days .. we had it the best , top notch like and shared , enjoy a great coming week :)ms
Hello MS, it's hard to keep up with the fashion these days ain't it, it seems anything goes, and having seen my kids grow up over the years and seen the stuff they have worn makes the mind boggle, i guess it's just a sign i am getting old lol.. Good to see you here my friend, have a fun weekend...
0:31 "The Shop" at 47 Radnor in London was owned by Photographer Terence Donovan, who likely shot this video.
So nice upload.
Pleased you liked it my friend, have a great weekend there...
Great share, Carl my friend :) Enjoyed this! Thumbs up!
Happy Sunday....Jenny ♫
Thanks Jenny, so sorry for the late reply, am getting slack lol.. Have a fun new week my friend...
Written by a young David Gates, who would arrange and conduct "Baby the Rain Must Fall" for Glenn Yarbrough in '65 and do studio work, which led to Pleasure Faire and then Bread, and "Make It With You" in 1970.
Nice bit of added info here.. many thanks for watching and commenting...
Good
Thanks...
thanks for uploading this track without any licenses ^_^
Good video, thank you for sharing 🙋🏻
Mutual support is greatly appreciated 💖 Have a nice day 🌟
Thanks harry, pleased you liked the video...
Wow look at them streets and styles Carl....There was certainly color and courage. Love the tune! Where do you dig em up from? Where ever it is it's a good source. All the best as always. Mark.
Hello Mark, you know i could watch footage like this all day long, it's like going back in time, it's the history side to all this type of film i enjoy so much.. I've got tons of footage like this which i have collected over the years, and when i can i try and use certain clips in my music videos now, sometimes it works well, but sometimes it don't, but in this case i think it works.. Cheers my friend, have a good weekend there, and take care on your travels...
It certainly is a window back Carl and good job you starting collecting these images. They make for a great social commentary along with the music. A pleasure to listen, watch and comment. I will take care - you to.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very nice Carl, this is a very nice song. Yes, it was written by David Gates of Bread fame.
Sorry for the late reply Ron, only just found this comment from you.. Yeah written by David Gates, i am a big fan of the band bread, they recorded some really nice songs, i like soft rock.. Cheers mate, have a good weekend there...
These scenes are probably from '66 or '67.
Yes, the scenes are of Swinging London at that time. From a British documentary.
Greetings from Canada bud. Pretty wild stuff!!
Cheers Wayne, thanks for watching my friend...
Late 60s images.
what is the keyboard in the intro, and throughout this song?
Probably a clavoline.
I can't remember anything about this track at all. Did it get into the charts here at all?
very popular in late 1963 through February 1964
@@clydequinn4395 Thanks for that, I can't find it on any 60s CD I have, which I find a bit strange. However, I neither have it or remember it. Mind you 63 would be pushing it for me anyway!
