Single release by Keld og The Donkeys (aka Keld & The Donkeys). The title track is credited Bror Karlsson (aka Kalle Cederkvist, aka Wilhelm Sörensen), and the B-side is credited 'Joe Halford - Jay Justin - Susanne Palsbo' with the latter having translated the original song "Get That Feeling" by Halford and Justin (released as B-side to Justin's single Reminiscing in 1964). The band existed under various line-ups in the years from 1962 and up until 1980. Initially, the band went under the name of (The) Donkeys (from '65 / '66 as Keld og The Donkeys, shortly after changed to Keld & The Donkeys). For this single, the band consists of lead vocalist & guitarist Keld Heick, lead guitarist Paul Malmqvist, bassist Norbert Persson, and with Henry Nielsen on drums.

This issue comes from my parents' record collection, and I recall playing this at age 6-10 years old, and I remember actually really enjoyed the title song, which I found sounded much like Cliff Richard / The Shadows, and to some extent as a softer version of The Beatles.
