The tune wasn’t Chris Montez’ “Let’s Dance”, it was an instrumental tune called “Nutrocker” by B. Bumble and The Stingers and issued in 1962, however that in turn is a rip-off of Tchaikovsky’s “March of the Toy Soldiers”from “The Nutcracker” | |

Just been reading that it was re released in the UK in 1972 reaching no. 20 which would explain it being prominent in the 70s. I remember it well. The original was great too. | |

Foggy, can you help with one tune that has eluded me. When they sang 'You're going to get your fckn head kicked in' and variants. I think it was a late sixties, UK instrumental by one of the 'big bands' (big numerically) that were still around, played a lot on radio. Like 'March of the Mods' by Joe Loss, but different. | |

No idea; I would say YGGYFHKI is credited: “Tradit.” Some great chants from the 1960s, The ever popular “Come on Boro!” Being derived from “If I had a Hammer” released by by Trini Lopez in 1963, although the song was written by Pete Seeger as long ago as1949. I wonder if they realise how honoured they are to be connected to The Boro ![]() | |

A couple of popular songs, when I coupled my fading memory with Google, turned out to be from the American civil war: "who's that team they call the Boro" and "we are the BBB and we never miss a match" aka 'Tramp Tramp Tramp' (see link) and 'Marching through Georgia'.

Well, this is one of those songs that you hear now and then, You don't know just where and you don't know just when. It's one of those songs that are over and then, It's one of those songs that start playin' again.… etc Artist: Jimmy Durante | |
