It was then recorded by Billy Vaughn that same year, and Vaughn's cover reached number 13 on the Billboard charts in the summer of 1962.
The song features a distinctive main theme (reminiscent of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight") played on the tin whistle and a trumpet solo by Manfred "Fred" Moch. Kaempfert's original version served as the original theme music to the television game show The Match Game from 1962-1967.

The song was a title track of an LP consisting of orchestrations of the South African kwela style of penny-whistle music popular in the 1950s.
The tune continues to be popular, having been used in television advertisements for ING Direct in the UK, and as the rolling lap theme for the saloon stock car class in UK oval racing. It also featured in the films An Elephant Called Slowly (1969) and The Dish (2000), and over the end credits of the 2009 motion picture Mary and Max. It is also used in a 2010-11 "Become an Ex" anti-smoking PSA for the Ad Council.
In 1971, the song was used as the theme music to the Blue Peter Royal Safari. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
