Trivia/Info

  • From theymightbegiants.com, "This is another Dial-A-Song recording — a cover of the Unit 4+2's UK hit from the 60s. This was cooked up at the behest of producer Clive Langer, who is a big fan of the song, as a possible holiday release in the UK but missed the deadlines and then slipped off the radar."
  • The recording likely dates back to 1989, during sessions with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley for the recording of Flood. The recording's earliest known appearance on Dial-A-Song aired circa. 1990, after Flood's release.[1].
  • This song was written by Tommy Moeller and Brian Parker of Unit 4+2. The lyrics of the TMBG cover vary slightly from the 1965 original, notably substituting "mountains crumble" for "mountains tumble".
