I can. It was one of my teenage years songs, 1968, IIRC, and reminds me of my first girlfriend in HS...................
Probably 1969. The song was released October 29, 1968 and doesn’t appear to have charted by the end of the year.
BTW, BJ Thomas took it to Number 5 on Billboard. Blue Swede hit Number 1 in 1974.
I guess everyone loved the ukachakas.
This is a fun conversation.
