I did too, GREAT track by Brian Hyland but the video isn't very good at all. I know it is of a time and was probably meant to be cute but it just isn't. A beautiful girl in a bikini would have been so much better and ditch the Granny.

This song is still popular here in Indonesia. This song has become our Trip song whenever we reunited again and planning to go someplace else.

This song was written by Paul Vance about his little daughter's embarrassment of wearing a bikini. Paul was a very prolific song writer but this seemed to be is biggest. He also wrote "Playground In My Mind" (a hit in 1973) in which his 8 year old son Phil sang a backing chorus.

Ewww... Creepy song that "Playground"... coincidentally, I was 8 yrs. old myself when that song was in the Top40 in the 1970s. The song mentions the boy finding a nickel. I went to this park in our neighbourhood, and went to the adult swings. A 20-ish (maybe a bit older) with reddish hair had a transistor radio with him (we didnt have headphones back then)...That song was playing on the radio. Eeek! I really hated that song though. That one and the one from '77 (cant remember the name now), something about Summer. Actually, if that man had taken me away and killed me or had sex with me would have taken me out of physical and verbal abuse I was experiencing at home.

Paul Baransky I think the phrasing of your first comment is odd. The crimes we have today happened back then, they were just “close-doored” and people made sure they weren’t in the limelight. Also, this song was written in 1960, which was 4 years before the Civil Rights Act. I do believe that racism still exists today, but the media has exaggerated it. There are only a small number of KKK members and Neo-nazis, and compared to past discrimination, it has died down to a small percentage (it’s still a problem, just not as big and should never be compared to segregation)

@paulbaransky4086 4 жыл бұрын

@@cassi5420 you may be correct about crimes committed going unreported. Seems like all of the trump supporters are white racists. people have gone off the deep end with guns and crazies. I think social media plays a part as well as the president. People have lost respect for others now and that is sad. Maybe the belief in a higher power was greater then and more people didn't want to go to the wrong place when they died. People rarely locked their doors or cars, with the exception of big cities. Now there is no safe suburbs. Another problem is America has 200 million more people now than 1960. More people,less space more crime.

Love Brian Hyland--grew up with him. We had so many great songs in those days. He was only 17 when he did this!

@michaelverbakel7632 Жыл бұрын

I heard that Brian Hyland got his inspiration for this wonderful song when he met this young couple walking on the beach one day. She was wearing a yellow polka-dot bikini and he had an itsy-bitsy teeny weenie. Not that anyone noticed, mind you.

Daisy Lawton At this time, pedophilia was rarely talked about, and people minds weren’t stuck in the gutter. Most people in this time held strong Christian values, so seeing a half-naked woman would’ve been seen as offensive (and a little girl as cute). Don’t take this as an insult (as that isn’t my intention), but you seem to be the one with the perverted mind, as you instantly interpret the video as if it could be sexualized, however I will admit that I myself was very uncomfortable as well
