Vaughn Monroe’s Ghost Riders in the Sky! I love it. My mom had the original 78, which you can also hear on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d_FeDuQ4ho
It looks like the video for the Vaughn Monroe youtube you posted was “riped” from The Ramrods’ version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWTjjm-Gg3c
But another birthday this week was Sputnik, launched 55 years ago on October 4, 1957, so there’s a 1961 version by The Spotnicks here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DVHU8RODLE
Great song, thanks for posting :-)
