Subject: RE: fifties popsongs that started as folk
The thing about that arrangement was that it hit the charts == very very popular, contantly muzak-ed &c. Not many sig-tunes to tv progs to which that happens: witness to catchiness of Todd tune, and excellence of the Spiegls' arrangement. Versions were recorded by such distinguished bands as that of Norrie Paramor.

It became the theme tune of the Liverpool-based Premier League football club Everton and is therefore regularly heard to this day, still played as the teams emerge at Everton's ground Goodison Park at the beginning of a match.
