I’ll Never Find Another You The Seekers
Popsicles And Icicles The Murmaids
Stupid Cupid Connie Francis
Stupid Cupid was written by Neil Sedaka but I like Connie’s version better. Makes me wish I could dance. Break out the headphones/earbuds and use both ears!
-David Drumm (Nal)
The Seekers were a fantastic group. Judith Durhams’ voice is exquisite and the lyrics are perfect for this song. ‘The Carnival Is Over’ is one of the saddest ‘farewell’ parting love songs of all time.

THE CARNIVAL IS OVER – 25/11/1965
3 weeks at #1 – 17 weeks on chart
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Your Dad? In his youth? OUCH!
I think I need to go exercise.
Connie was only 19 when she recorded Stupid Cupid. My Dad was a big fan in his yoof and had all her singles on shellack 78rpm.
