    It doesn't work like that. I thought so too; left well before midnight, but still got an 'overstay' stamp in my passport, cause my flight was scheduled for 2 a.m., or so, the next morning...

    I hated this song for years and years and years.

     

    Reason being.

     

    My older sister put this on a tape with this song back to back to back to back

     

    And that front and back (of the tape)

     

    Then we went with my sister and her boyfriend (who was driving the car) to a Amusement Park about a 2 hrs drive away. And all the time (there and back) this song was playing.

     

    After that, I could not listen to this song for a long time. Now it's oke again.

     

    Great song and don't you love it what music can do to you and invoke good or BAD memories :thumbsup:

  3. Not to everyone's taste

     

    But do please note, this guy had something to do (as they say) with the discovery of The Beatles

    in his capacity as record producer, Kaempfert played a part in the rise of the Beatles. In 1961, he hired the Beatles to back Tony Sheridan on an album called My Bonnie. Sheridan had been performing in Hamburg, and needed to recruit a band to play behind him on the proposed tracks. Kaempfert auditioned and signed the Beatles, and recorded two tracks with them during his sessions for Sheridan: "Ain't She Sweet" (sung by rhythm guitarist John Lennon) and "Cry for a Shadow" (an instrumental written by Lennon and lead guitarist George Harrison). The album and its singles, released by Polydor Records, were the Beatles' first commercially released recordings.

     

    On 28 October 1961, a customer walked into the Liverpool music store owned by Brian Epstein and asked for a copy of "My Bonnie". The store did not have it, but Epstein noted the request. He was so intrigued by the idea of a Liverpool band releasing a record that he investigated. That event led to his discovery of the Beatles and, through his efforts, their signing by George Martin to Parlophone Records after Kaempfert helped them avoid any contractual claim from Polydor.
