I bought the "Merry Snoopy's Christmas" album as an adult because I remembered the song from my childhood. To my surprise I discovered a bunch of songs I really liked. "My Airplane" & "Sopwith Camel Time" became favorites and my kids really liked them too.
Steven, to listen to the guys sinbg this song, it brings in the nursery type of song that just comes in to all of us kids, you know... Love this song. Awesome. JB
the musical decades seem to run from the 5th year to the next fifth year. Like the best one of all : 1965 to 1975. They haven't even come close to " our decade " . They never will.
I love the Royal Guardsmen singing the Snoopy songs, but I never heard this version of Biplane. Irish Rovers have the market on this one, I'm thinkin' I guess I just got used to hearing them do it. It was wonderful!!
@CrowCulture The triumph of the underdog is a classic literary and by extension musical theme. I am not sure any of these stories can truly be said to be an imitation of any other one. They almost exist in their own genre.
I have just done a Wikipedia , search, and it says "A song recorded by The Irish Rovers" so it looks like they did it first as there was no mention of the Royal Guardsmen. But I still prefer this one. For all you Irish Rovers fans there is a ringtone in there if you like it enough. That is not running it down, It is good but I prefer this one.
I was teens when this came out the Guardsmen were 1st . with it then the Rovers I'm not knocking either group I loved both and them on MP3 in my T-BIRD You shold see the looks I get at RED LIGHTS. Remember Wikipedia is open to everyone to post even if they don't know. Just enjoy the music like I do..
Just proves that anyone with a BIG HEART can be a hero. Great Tune!
I'm 22 now, but I grew up with my dad playing Royal Guardsmen records for me since I was 3. This is one I always remember and love hearing.
This is my favorite song in the whole world!!!
I listen to it all the time in the shower! & I play it for my two year old son all the time!
i heard a lullaby of this and now i love it

It's a shame these guys could never shake the image of being a novelty act. Some of their non-Snoopy songs were really good.
They were a good group
Would love to have seen that at the lights. Thanks for your comment. Happy New Year, Gary

I just listened to The Rovers version. I prefer this one too. Never heard it until I bought their "Snoopy" CD.

@sandinmyears1
I remember the Irish Rovers singing this when I was a kid. I didn't know the Royal Guardsmen sang it too.
Who recorded it first?
The better version of this song.
@Supermusicisloveable - I have no idea. I've only heard it by the rovers.
i don't remember either version... was this a 'B side' on one of the other guardsman's records?
the b side of this was 'baby lets wait'
Rovers is too slow.
