So funny you said this.. wife and I were talking and I said all I hear in my head when I hear about the fire is this old song.. she didn't remember it, and here we are..🤣😕
In case anybody is wondering, these clips are of Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain in the 1945 flick STATE FAIR. If you aren't wondering, it is pretty much the same...
I remember hearing this song on my am radio no fm radio was sold at that time I can remember actually I was 6 years old slept with my radio beside me. 68 years of age now. Thanks dad for buying that radio
Would someone mind telling where the happy music and vibes from this era are in my generation... you boomers entire generation is filled with happiness and innocence. WTF happened to mine....
You're right about one thing, the world was a better place to live in back in my day! It was far more free and people more tolerant. We didn't take ourselves so seriously and encouraged each other to better ourselves. Generally, people were happier than now (at least the people I knew and know). This positive vibe filtered through to the good and happy music you're referring to, in addition to the technology you and your generation are using. Even though there were many problems, life was generally simpler and far more affordable. Nowadays, everyone is so uptight and far less tolerant. People seem less forgiving and are quick to blame others without looking at themselves first. Really it is up to all of us to try and make this world a better place to live in, in particular, the younger generation who should have the drive, motivation and energy to create a happier and more harmonious environment for all!
My band "The River City Rock Band" was backing Freddy at "The Pit" in Kenosha County, WI, in 1969 and this really pretty girl tried to climb up on the stage and touch him. I had to push her down but later, I talked to her. We were married the following September and have been married now for over 54 years. She is still the prettiest girl in the room!!
What a great place was Palisades park. Took my new lady there in high school and we stopped at the top of the ferris wheel like the song says. The view of Manhattan was breathtaking, and the kiss was special as well. Now its gone, and its been replaced by condos. Its like the other old song says, they have torn down paridise and put up a parking lot. They called it progress.
They call it progress. The same thing happened to Playland-at-the-beach in San Francisco. Wonderful oceanside amusement park for over 50 years, then demolished in 1972 for condos!!!!! 😱
I was a teenager in the 50s. Great Sci-Fi films ("The Day the Earth Stood Still," "Invaders From Mars." "War of the Worlds," "When Worlds Collide," "It, From Another World" etc.). Great matinees with those wonderful cartoons (Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Wylie E. Coyote and the Road Runner, Yosemite Sam, etc.). Sock hops, Friday/Saturday night dances with all the great music and great AND TALENTED performers. Great TV. American Bandstand and a lot of things to keep us busy as we were growing up. I came from a small town. I really think it should be against the law to raise kids in cities. My brother thought so as well. In small towns you learn what this country is all about.
Remember when society was happy? Just out of curiosity, what is the instrumentation playing the chords? I hear the percussion, the sax and bass, but in the background are those guitars or an organ channeled through a flanger? Whatever the case may be, its a great sound.

I was 12 when this song came out. As they say. .those were the days. 60s so much fun. Songs you could dance to. I married in 69 but unfortunately he passed away 1988. It was the worst year in my life.
I went to Palisades Park a few times in the early '60s but after the record was released, the last time the circus was there and there was a big fire in a large apartment building and I saw a number of circus entertainers there watching the fire including Emmet Kelly Always loved that song and started bothering my dad to take my brother and me to Palisades Park I still have the 45 of Palisades Park
Totally agree. One thing hafta add though. Let’s not pretend that all was hunky-dory for Everyone. Sure if you happened to be mid-class & white…. Plus, the Viet Nam War w the Draft Lottery. Those of us able to enjoy the 50s and make it through 60s and 70s need to be grateful and feel blessed!!!!

A wonderful, happy song that perfectly captures the "zeitgeist" of the early 1960's and the fun of taking a girl to an amusement park. I never tire of hearing this song.
Great oldie! Love the film scenes here too. I am a bit too young for to had been able to go to Palisades Park, which closed in the early 70s. But my dad used to go often as a teen, in the 50s/early 60s
@@SirBasildeBrush oh ya, my dad used to tell me about taking his dates there...family lived (and still lives) in upper Manhattan, so it was a logical choice to go back then. I just wished I had been able to! lol
As a Brit , Bruce 1988 the tunnel of love tour this was played as part of the what was called the walk up music score, it captured the atmosphere of a fairground scene in jersey , later on when i discovered asbury park on my many trips to the states and its fantastic people, that mural of tillie creates this song for me ,my great aunt who worked at AVRO's in chadderton manchester on Lancaster Bombers remembers freddy cannon in his early years , so this song captures it for me , God bless America
Man, what a great record! You just find music this good these days. The 1950s and 1960s had some of the best music such like Danny and the Juniors, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, even Freddy Cannon with Palisades Park! Long live the 1950s and 1960s music rather than a lot of today's trash!
@@SirBasildeBrush Oh yeah. The 1950s and 60s was the best era of rock and roll. There was Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and much more. I'm an oldies listener for life! Long live the 1950s and 1960s music!
@@SirBasildeBrush Wasn't this written by Chuck Barris, who created the Gong Show and claimed to assassinate people for the CIA. There was a movie and book about it. However, some claim he is a liar and fabricated the whole thing.
Nice 👍👍👍 when people were people and kids were allowed to be kids... -_- why can't we have this again? I wasn't even born until the 90's.. but this was gold! Love this song.
These scenes are from the movie State Fair with Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain. One of my faves. Always loved him. Best Years of Our Lives and Laura are my favorite movies of his. State Fair was good as well.
Well, you certainly know your movies! 'Laura is classic film noir, although 'Night of the Demon' is my favourite. And his brother was in some great ones as well.
@@SirBasildeBrush My favorite Dana Andrews tole was the terminally ill Dr Sorenson in "Crack in the World". Nothing's more dangerous than a mad scientist with nothing to lose!
Thank you. I recognized Dana Andrews but not the movie, and it was driving me crazy. 'Best Years' is the movie I always tell people they have to see if they don't know it.
I always say I was born 10 years too late: 1968. I just missed growing up without AIDS. I just missed being able to legally drink at age 18. I missed, by less than a decade, my company’s public stock offering that would’ve made me very wealthy. Not to mention all those ridiculous bonuses they were handing out to managers in the 1980’s when I was only a teenager. By the time I was in a good job position and ready to share the wealth in the late 90’s, companies were already drastically cutting back rewards for middle management to make way for the big global explanation. And….I was only two years old when Palisades Park closed. 😫
This was written and saying in the days of young and innocence and romance I was three years old when this came out what a great song I used it licensing for different tracks many times
Right now I’m hearing Palisades neighborhood in Las Angeles going up in flames. Not to be dumb…but is this Palisades Park related. I’m feeling teary-eyed from these losses, whosever they are. 🫶🏻

Great video! Really works! Excellent job! Love this song! Took me a while to figure out where the footage is from. You marched it perfectly. Like it was meant to be.
ITT: "Born in le wrong generation" You were born in the generation where you can listen to this over and over wherever and whenever you want, in whatever tempo/pitch/audio quality you wish. I'd consider that grounds enough to be thankful for where fate placed you.
Finally I took a listen 01/16/2025. I thought of this song on the first begging day of the fire. I had no idea how many people have recorded this tune. I think the writer and first pro former was Chuck Barris of the Gong Show. True ?
California was the greatest place U can Grow Up In....The World Came To Us....AND Living There In the 60s and 70s...Long Beach Pike...and P O P in Santa Monica...The Drive In Movies..Wow
We all cared how we looked! We didn't go out looking like we had slept in our clothes for a week, and flip flops were only used in showers & at the beach ! We were respectful and proud of ourselves and our country!
Anyone here because of the Palisades fire? (The song was based on a park in NJ but the fires reminded me of this song!)
So funny you said this.. wife and I were talking and I said all I hear in my head when I hear about the fire is this old song.. she didn't remember it, and here we are..🤣😕

Hadn't heard that. A wise switch.
Great video! Really works!
Excellent job!
Love this song!
Took me a while to figure out where the footage is from.
You marched it perfectly.
Like it was meant to be.
Thanks for the kind comments and encouraging words for this posting - much appreciated. Enjoy!

ITT: "Born in le wrong generation"
You were born in the generation where you can listen to this over and over wherever and whenever you want, in whatever tempo/pitch/audio quality you wish. I'd consider that grounds enough to be thankful for where fate placed you.
RAMONES DID A GREAT
COVER
Finally I took a listen 01/16/2025. I thought of this song on the first begging day of the fire. I had no idea how many people have recorded this tune. I think the writer and first pro former was Chuck Barris of the Gong Show. True ?
I read that write Chuck Barris sang this over the phone to the record company - who immediately bought it.
Bravo!
The song and video are so fresh and amazing that I am speechless 🙊. Bravissimo ❣❣❣ you are the master!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, delighted you're enjoying this posting so much! A song I was rather obsessed with during my teenage years.
I know the guy is Dana Andrews. Who is the gal?
This was the first 45 single my brother bought!
..nice choice!
❤reminds me of dancing to this song a long time ago. Twist
This one does seem to feature in a lot of people's good memories.

Everyone looks so nice going to the amusement park ❤
..and they're happy!
We all cared how we looked!
We didn't go out looking like we had slept in our clothes for a week, and flip flops were only used in showers & at the beach !
We were respectful and proud of ourselves and our country!
