“Another Vaughn Monroe big hit. It was written by Stan Jones who recorded it first in 1948, and by Burl Ives next in 1949, the same year as Vaughn Monroe. Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee and even Spike Jones recorded that year too, but it was Monroe who had the big hit, being the only one reaching No 1 on Billboard. Billboard ranked it as the No.1 song for 1949. It has of course been recorded dozens of times since. #HopeYouLikeIt #Yippee-Ay-ey”
