If ever a song wanted the epithet 'cute', this is it! Kinda rare for a pop record to use a banjo; this might be one of the biggest hits for a banjo-driven tune (the only other one that comes to mind is Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandel).
It's from 1966 and it's one of the Hollies' earliest hits, a success in both America and Europe. It's a fun little song with lots of movement and interesting hooks. I'd forgotten about it for years until DirecTV recently began running a promo for a new service free to DirecTV subscribers - XM Satelite Radio, yippee!!! - that features planet earth with a little satelite dancing around its orbit while this song plays.
