a windmill in old amsterdam

[welshman646]

who sang it

[jenstar]

Blimey, who didn't?! I think Danny Kaye may have been the first, though.

[smorodina]

Ronnie Hilton

[thewillow]

Danny Kaye had far too much taste.

[Cetti]

Yes, it was dreadful but I bet there's a few people here singing it!

It was Ronnie Hilton by the way.

[Jenny Tools]

Didn't that wonderful super star Max Bygraves do a version of sorts ?

[Starman 2112]

The childrens television programme 'Tikkabilla' do an ascoutic version fairly regularly !! Set your video if your at work.

[inferno]

Val Doonican?

[inferno]

No, I was quite wrong - but he did have two singles in the chart at the same time as Ronnie Hilton. Now that's what I call useful information.

[Spellmaster]

It was Ronnie Hilton, and Ronnie Hilton only. I have a copy on an album, and it's not dreadful, it's a wonderful children's song. It's a pity five-year-olds don't listen to more songs like this today instead of boy and girl bands singing about nothing other than sex.

[FelixtheDog]

Dont forget the Manfred Mann version in the 60s or was it the 70s? Anyway, I think it is a fantastic song, filled with imagination and sillyness and a nice tune too
