- Stereo effect Freddy Cannon sings one of my favourite songs with "Palisades Park", from 1962. Transcribed directly from the second vinyl LP I ever bought. Note the faux stereo effect which comes to the fore as the rollercoaster pans between ears in the chorus break.
Well being 77yrs young i love this tune 😂❤🎉
Delighted - enjoy the memories!
75 here. Me too !😂😊
These scenes are from the movie State Fair with Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain. One of my faves. Always loved him. Best Years of Our Lives and Laura are my favorite movies of his. State Fair was good as well.
Well, you certainly know your movies! 'Laura is classic film noir, although 'Night of the Demon' is my favourite. And his brother was in some great ones as well.
@@SirBasildeBrush My favorite Dana Andrews tole was the terminally ill Dr Sorenson in "Crack in the World". Nothing's more dangerous than a mad scientist with nothing to lose!
@@tuttt99 Don't think I've seen that one, yet.
Thank you. I recognized Dana Andrews but not the movie, and it was driving me crazy. 'Best Years' is the movie I always tell people they have to see if they don't know it.
I grew up a bus ride away from the park that dropped us off at the main entrance many fun filled days were spent there and you could get in for free if you had the matchbook picture of “Pal”(found behind the strike pad on some matchbooks). Great memories 1:14
'Palisades' seems to mean a lot to many people - especially if you only lived a bus ride away!
My band "The River City Rock Band" was backing Freddy at "The Pit" in Kenosha County, WI, in 1969 and this really pretty girl tried to climb up on the stage and touch him. I had to push her down but later, I talked to her. We were married the following September and have been married now for almost 54 years. She is still the prettiest girl in the room!!
Nice story, and hats off to Freddy (and The River City Rock Band)! Hoping your wife likes this song.
COOL!!!
Keep coming back to watch this every day . Watched the movie “State Fair “ recently 😂😂😂😂
Welcome back! I'm often back here, too. A song that had a claim to be my favourite during my teenage years - and maybe still does.
@@SirBasildeBrush Many great tunes from then . Hard to pick one ☝️ 🤣🤣
@@LarryBishop69 ...truly!

...nice.
superbly done...
Delighted! Thanks.
Last night I took a walk after dark
A swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the girls are!!
I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
That girl I sat beside was awful cute
After we stopped she was holdin' hands with me .....
My heart was flyin'
Up - like a rocket ship
Down - like a roller coaster
Back - like a loop-the-loop
And around - like a merry-go-round
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love .....
Down at Palisades Park
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love
Down at Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park
You know it's Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park
Thanks for the lyrics.
Palisades Park lived very close
...nice!
Who is the actress on the roller coaster who looks a little like Lois Lane from the Superman series?
it's Jeanne Crain. Here she is again th-cam.com/video/9uvXwwPW3D4/w-d-xo.html
Это песня в Мафии 3 есть .
Land just got too valuable and expensive - most of these places are long gone. Palisades is now a highrise apartment complex w stunning views of Manhattan - can't afford to use that land for the Tunnel of Love. :-(
I knew it was long gone, but never knew what replaced it. Thanks.
@@SirBasildeBrush do you remember (or know of) Freedomland in the Bronx? Same deal - it was only open for a few years in early/mid '60s (awesome place!) and then was also developed into an apartment complex.
@@LeftysLefty Not heard of Freedomland before, but I've spent some time reading up about it and watching clips on You Tube. Thanks.
35 mm film. too. What movie is this picture from?
"State Fair" (1945)
Увезу тебя я в тундру..
Who the fuck wears A three-piece suit to an amusement park?? Lol
Who wears a suit to an amusement park?
Not this American
Shell suit..with a tie?
Thanks mafia 3 for showing me this awesome song
I've loved this song for 62 years now!💕🤸♂️
@CarolinePost Me three!!!!!!!
❤️ this super great 1960s song
Bless u❤
Chuck Barris gave us a lot more than game shows.
For instance? How is he related to this song or park?
@@ToyotaGuy1971 He wrote it.
@@tippimail1 Oh okay, thanks. ✌

@@paulrobilotti9294 I just learned it here.
BRING BACK THE 60'S !
Well... maybe not ALL the '60s! 😢
@@margolangley4472all of them
Me too!
I love all songs of those wonderful years ❤️❤️💥💥
Spectacular song! It is my unofficial anthem for Kennywood
Kennywood Park Pgh? If so, I'm from a suburb of Pgh
How funny..my dad just had me look up this song. He asked me what song does it remind me of. I said Kennywood Park!!!! Down at Kennywood Park!😄
@@Liansz1yep, that's because Freddy Cannon re-recorded the song as "Kennywood Park" for a commercial in the '80s.
Well, I'm old & in pain like you.
Remembering Palisade Park puts a spark in me.
My first & last date was there.
My heart will never recover!
Sad and uplifting at the same time to read. Hope this brings back wonderful memories.
Groovy daddio
When life was a lot nicer and friendlier !
What a great place was Palisades park. Took my new lady there in high school and we stopped at the top of the ferris wheel like the song says. The view of Manhattan was breathtaking, and the kiss was special as well. Now its gone, and its been replaced by condos. Its like the other old song says, they have torn down paridise and put up a parking lot. They called it progress.
* it's
* It's
* paved [not 'torn down']
* paradise
Wow - actually stopped at the top of the ferris wheel! What a memory.
They call it progress. The same thing happened to Playland-at-the-beach in San Francisco. Wonderful oceanside amusement park for over 50 years, then demolished in 1972 for condos!!!!! 😱
I always say I was born 10 years too late: 1968. I just missed growing up without AIDS. I just missed being able to legally drink at age 18. I missed, by less than a decade, my company’s public stock offering that would’ve made me very wealthy. Not to mention all those ridiculous bonuses they were handing out to managers in the 1980’s when I was only a teenager. By the time I was in a good job position and ready to share the wealth in the late 90’s, companies were already drastically cutting back rewards for middle management to make way for the big global explanation. And….I was only two years old when Palisades Park closed. 😫
Yes, I was also born in the sixties. But at least you're 10 years younger than you would otherwise be 😉
@@SirBasildeBrush- Facts 👍
Im with you on this one
You got to grow up in the 80s. You lucky bastard.
Like Rimbaud's poem The Blacksmith _____red ax of revolution >> who talks about French law
Fun video !!😃 Always loved the way he sings "TUNNEL OF LOVE !!" ❤️💓💕❤️💓💕❤️💓💕💗💗💗💗💗👄💗💗💝
Delighted with your enthusiastic welcome for this! Enjoy!!
Always loved this song .Happy carefree times
...it all looks very inviting.
The overdub of the rollercoaster was pure musical genius. You can't underestimate how hard it was to have that sound age so well.
It does it for me - love it!
Wish. I had. Been. A. Teenager. In. The. 50 s. Love. The. Music.
Still Mafia 3 vibes😅
We used to only worry about love. Now everything is hate. Take me back in time lord. I want to be happy again.
No need - just keep polishing those rose-tinted specs and pretending that 50s/60s America was a utopia
If you were a white male it was a great time. Minorities? Not so much...lol.
@@Lazy_Sundae You seem fun.
@@dasrigg44 Wait - the OP says there's no love in the World and I say there is... but I'm the one who isn't fun? OK, mate - I can see you've really thought this through 😅
@@Lazy_Sundae Where did you say that, exactly? Not in your reply, certainly. The guy is just waxing poetic and you dump all over it with your "rose-tinted specs" comment. You also replied to someone merely to correct their spelling/grammar.
So yeah, you seem like that person no one wants to hang out with. Sorry, but them's the breaks. Oh - before you "correct" me, I mean to say "them's." Lmao
Remember when society was happy? Just out of curiosity, what is the instrumentation playing the chords? I hear the percussion, the sax and bass, but in the background are those guitars or an organ channeled through a flanger? Whatever the case may be, its a great sound.
Good question. Not sure - sounds like the (more prominent) guitars on his 'Buzz Buzz A Diddle it'
Would someone mind telling where the happy music and vibes from this era are in my generation... you boomers entire generation is filled with happiness and innocence. WTF happened to mine....
👍 I was also born too late, so I guess I'm living it through the music and movies of the time.
You're right about one thing, the world was a better place to live in back in my day! It was far more free and people more tolerant. We didn't take ourselves so seriously and encouraged each other to better ourselves.
Generally, people were happier than now (at least the people I knew and know). This positive vibe filtered through to the good and happy music you're referring to, in addition to the technology you and your generation are using. Even though there were many problems, life was generally simpler and far more affordable.
Nowadays, everyone is so uptight and far less tolerant. People seem less forgiving and are quick to blame others without looking at themselves first. Really it is up to all of us to try and make this world a better place to live in, in particular, the younger generation who should have the drive, motivation and energy to create a happier and more harmonious environment for all!
Sooo sorry. You sound like you belong back there with us! Youre cool! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Easy. You decided to throw away the values of this country. Rap is your choice. You choose poorly. Now, there is no going back.
@@deni0.0.7 Understood. At least the music was better though. But I get what you mean.
Good times
A happy song with a happy video clip, you definitely know your songs sir.
A song which has had a claim to be all-time favourite at times.
I went to Palisades Park a few times in the early '60s but after the record was released, the last time the circus was there and there was a big fire in a large apartment building and I saw a number of circus entertainers there watching the fire including Emmet Kelly Always loved that song and started bothering my dad to take my brother and me to Palisades Park I still have the 45 of Palisades Park
Nice memories - and hang onto that 45!
Where have all these great songs gone. Stuck in time!
...they've ended up on You Tube!
Nice 👍👍👍 when people were people and kids were allowed to be kids... -_- why can't we have this again? I wasn't even born until the 90's.. but this was gold! Love this song.
it's a great sound that conjures up good times and warm memories.
We can but the first and foremost thing to do is rid the country of radical liberalism and commies. Just stating facts…
Great oldie! Love the film scenes here too. I am a bit too young for to had been able to go to Palisades Park, which closed in the early 70s. But my dad used to go often as a teen, in the 50s/early 60s
Thanks, and nice to hear from someone with a connection to Palisades.
@@SirBasildeBrush oh ya, my dad used to tell me about taking his dates there...family lived (and still lives) in upper Manhattan, so it was a logical choice to go back then. I just wished I had been able to! lol
@@Lazy_Sundae how sweet, thank you for trying to correct us. It's actually spelled "Palisades" though
Yehhaaaaaaaaaaaa back when there is value in dating
Sweet youth! Takes me back many years! Days of innocence and precious moments!
...sounds like good times.
Perfect..... I saw NO tattoos, smart phones, beards on men or women. No one was discussing social justice issues or climate change and I didn't here the singer once use a profanity or refer to women as hoes or bitches.
Yes, perfect.
People in the 1960s did tattoos. Guys in the 1950s did tattoos. And in reality not the video clip alot of men had beards facial hair in the 1950s 60s. So your comment isn't accurate. Also there was discussion of social Justice issues in the 1940s 50s 60s. Profanity was used in 1940s 50s 60s. Climate change was talked about and highlighted as early as the 1800s.
Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon was born on December 4, 1936, therefore he is celebrating his 85th birthday today December 4, 2021. He is an American rock and roll singer, whose biggest international hits included "Tallahassee Lassie", "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans", and "Palisades Park" UPDATE: He celebrated his 87th birthday on December 4, 2023 (Palisades Park was released in July 1962 and reached #3 on Billboard Hot 100 charts. It was his biggest hit).
....and #20 on the UK charts. Belated Happy Birthday Freddie!
Thanks for the History facts.
Don't forget "Action" from 1965. It was the theme song for Dick Clark's "Where the Action Is" show.
1940*
A wonderful, happy song that perfectly captures the "zeitgeist" of the early 1960's and the fun of taking a girl to an amusement park. I never tire of hearing this song.
This is such a cool song
I watched the documentary and I was totally blown away by the fact that this song and several others that were number one hits were actually written by a CIA secret agent that was the creator and host of over 200 TV prize shows.
In the documentary they talk about this song in particular and how before the guy went to work for the CIA he was dating underage girls and constantly on the prowl for them and he found all these carnivals in New Jersey that had all of these girls these high school girls that would be there alone or with friends and he would have sex with them in the amusement park or carnivals.
It was an incredible documentary. It was during the height of the Cold War and I remember watching these different game shows and I could never understand why in the world they would go to places like West Germany for a trip as the prize and all these other places that were our enemy.
Now it all makes complete sense
There is so much of this that happens where people in Hollywood are recruited as secret agents
Also in the media the reporters are recruited to be spies and I remember with Saddam Hussein they caught one of our reporters that was spying and Saddam had him hung and I don't think that ever was released to the public I don't think anyone ever covered that story because it was classified
The whole secret agent is really interesting to me because they have a job that many times is real they actually work for a huge corporation and the CIA communicates with the CEO of the company and tells them we need to place this person in this position and they're going to be on your payroll but we're paying you to pay them and basically they show up when they show up and they don't when they don't and whatever they say you agree with it you back them up and these people are able to travel the world and appear to be just regular workers for these different companies and I've seen several people including somebody in my family that would never admit that's what they do but also my best friend her husband I'm sure is a secret agent because he goes to places and then those places are overthrown and I see him come back and I say how was your trip and I just laugh cuz I know he's a secret agent
And they're always low-key people they're always calm quiet people that you would not suspect
I would have loved to be a secret agent
Now I'm old and sick and dying and I don't have anybody and I'm very depressed and all I have is TH-cam and that's most of my day laying in bed watching TH-cam when I'm not in too much pain
I understand now why people settle and get married and why they stay together in horrible marriages because nobody wants to die alone
That's an interesting story, new to me.
Sad to hear this! But interested in your story. Thank you for sending it! I pray better health to you!
After stumbling across this video I later watched the film State Fair, (1945 version), and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Delighted to hear that. You''ll recognize this, then... th-cam.com/video/9uvXwwPW3D4/w-d-xo.html

MAFIA III X-Men: First Class & Confessions With A Dangerous Mind
Ah! That's why it's such a popular video.
Yup
I've always liked this song but I never knew until yesterday that Chuck Barris of Gong Show fame wrote it.
My LP sleeve notes say he sang it over the phone to the record company who accepted it immediately.
Didn't Chuck work for the FBI or CIA undercover also? The true Renaissance man: game show host, songwriter, spook. What a guy!
I'm not a boomer, but to answer your question as honestly as I know how to: quite simply, it doesn't exist in/for your generation. Your generation's "main stream music" is awful. That's not me showing my age. It's just truth. Any really good music exists almost entirely in the underground. I love classical music, classic rock, and heavy metal. But I've ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for tons of the fucking AMAZE BALLS music from the 1960s. SOOOOO good! These days, the most talented musicians tend to be drawn towards playing metal. Not all, but probably the vast majority.

You were born in the generation where you can listen to this over and over wherever and whenever you want, in whatever tempo/pitch/audio quality you wish. I'd consider that grounds enough to be thankful for where fate placed you.

Written by Charles Hirsch Barris (1929-2017), aka Chuck Barris of "The Gong Show" fame.
Thanks for the info.
Everyone looks so nice going to the amusement park ❤
..and they're happy!
We all cared how we looked!
We didn't go out looking like we had slept in our clothes for a week, and flip flops were only used in showers & at the beach !
We were respectful and proud of ourselves and our country!
What an amazing ride back in time. Crazy let's go to a ride dressed up in Sunday's best
....he did take his hat off for the rollercoaster ride, though.
Man, what a great record! You just find music this good these days. The 1950s and 1960s had some of the best music such like Danny and the Juniors, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, even Freddy Cannon with Palisades Park! Long live the 1950s and 1960s music rather than a lot of today's trash!
Seems we both like the same era. Simply the best in music.
@@SirBasildeBrush Oh yeah. The 1950s and 60s was the best era of rock and roll. There was Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, and much more. I'm an oldies listener for life! Long live the 1950s and 1960s music!
@@SirBasildeBrush Wasn't this written by Chuck Barris, who created the Gong Show and claimed to assassinate people for the CIA. There was a movie and book about it. However, some claim he is a liar and fabricated the whole thing.
The scenes for Palisades Park are from the Rogers and Hammerstein's film State Fair.
