B-side of Ebb Tide but a Los Angeles DJ started plugging the flip side, while Noxema shaving cream used it in a commercial. N°1 US. Written in 1958 for TV show Burlesque. Rose wrote 8 measures, explained the title to his men and left them improvising. He truly believed music should be functional. Also wrote the themes for tv-series Highway Patrol and Bonanza.
Covers:
Joe Loss [later in film The Full Monty]
Also Tony Everett's tune on Radio London.
