00:00Honestly, it's been a crazy and wonderful run that I've had.
00:05Such good fortune came my way so often.
00:08When we started singing records like this,
00:10we didn't think that there may be movies on the horizon,
00:14but there were.
00:15I mean, you remember The Young Ones, of course,
00:17and we've sung that one.
00:19And this next one, of course.
00:21I think I've got it right, have I?
00:23Yes.
00:25I never dreamt that we'd make movies like Young Ones
00:28and Summer Holiday.
00:29And it was just a fantastic...
00:31I don't know, again, luck comes your way and you have to grab it,
00:33so we did.
00:34Anyway, here it is.
00:35This is the theme song from Summer Holiday.

02:49It was so nice last night to be able to say that
02:52Hank and Bruce from The Shadows were sitting up there somewhere
02:55and, you know, Hank and Bruce wrote Summer Holiday
02:59and while we were filming
03:02the production people said
03:05we're running, we need another song
03:08so Bruce and I were sitting up there
03:11we're running, we need another song
03:14so Bruce and I rushed back to the hotel
03:17now they took about, I'm thinking about
03:20when they wrote Summer Holiday it took them about a month or two
03:23Bruce and I got together and it just took us five minutes
03:29and the song was Bachelor Boy
03:42When I was young my father said
03:46Son I've got something to say
03:49And what he told me I'll never forget
03:53Until my dying day
03:56He said son you want a bachelor boy
04:00And that's the way to stay
04:04Happy to be a bachelor boy
04:08Until your dying day
04:13When I was sixteen I fell in love
04:16With a girl as sweet as can be
04:20But I remember just in time
04:24What my daddy said to me
04:27He said son you want a bachelor boy
04:31And that's the way to stay
04:35Happy to be a bachelor boy
04:39Until your dying day
04:58He said son you want a bachelor boy
05:03And that's the way to stay
05:06Happy to be a bachelor boy
05:10Until your dying day
05:16As time goes by I probably will
05:19Meet a girl, a boy in love
05:23Then I'll get married, have a wife and a child
05:27And they'll be my turtle doves
05:30But until then I'll be a bachelor boy
05:34And that's the way I'll stay
05:38Happy to be a bachelor boy
05:42Until my dying day
05:45He said son you want a bachelor boy
05:49And that's the way to stay
05:53Happy to be a bachelor boy
05:57Until your dying day
06:00I'll be a bachelor boy
06:04And that's the way I'll stay
06:08Happy to be a bachelor boy
06:11Until my dying day
06:27Thank you very much.
