The song of the...

...day is by Glenn Yarbrough, one of the original Limeliters. It's worth listening to if you can get past the first 40 seconds or so of this video.

While Yarbrough gained fame as a folk singer, this tune made it to No. 2 on the Easy Listening charts back in 1965. (Is that what people mean by the term "backhanded compliment?")

Also, the video provides incontrovertible evidence that folk music is nearly impossible to dance to.
