What Song is Your Personal Anthem?

[CallMeKate]

A song for overcoming... if there's fear, anxiety, loneliness... I hope anyone who needs it will listen to this one.

Doris never hated this song at all. She was reluctant to record it as a single, as she thought it should be included in an album geared toward children. However, she went ahead and did the recording, and when The Man Who Knew Too Much used it as its theme song, it took off. The rest is history, and she was very pleased with it.

"This became Doris Day's biggest hit and her signature song, but she didn't want to record it because she thought of it as a children's song. Livingston explained in Zollo's interview: "She didn't want to record it but the studio pressured her. She did it in one take and said, 'That's the
Last you're going to hear of this song.'"

I read about this years ago but recently I found the story again...

That's quite different from her hating the song. Doris was a friend of mine, so I know the real story here. She never thought it would sell as a single.

For me, it’s gotta be Fox On The Run by Sweet. What a great period vibe here, with the clothes and the hair! The number was used in the soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Shame about Jimmy Saville at the start Fyrefox, we don't give that creepy pervert airspace in the UK.

In this article it's stated that she hated it which is how the story, I first read years ago, had put it.
