Stereo effect Freddy Cannon sings one of my favourite songs with "Palisades Park", from 1962. Transcribed directly from the second vinyl LP I ever bought. Note the faux stereo effect which comes to the fore as the rollercoaster pans between ears in the chorus break.

  • My band "The River City Rock Band" was backing Freddy at "The Pit" in Kenosha County, WI, in 1969 and this really pretty girl tried to climb up on the stage and touch him. I had to push her down but later, i talked to her. We were married the following September and have been married now for almost 54 years. She is still the prettiest girl in the room!!

    The overdub of the rollercoaster was pure musical genius. You can't underestimate how hard it was to have that sound age so well.

    What a great place was Palisades park. Took my new lady there in high school and we stopped at the top of the ferris wheel like the song says. The view of Manhattan was breathtaking, and the kiss was special as well. Now its gone, and its been replaced by condos. Its like the other old song says, they have torn down paridise and put up a parking lot. They called it progress.

    Spectacular song! It is my unofficial anthem for Kennywood
  • I grew up a bus ride away from the park that dropped us off at the main entrance many fun filled days were spent there and you could get in for free if you had the matchbook picture of β€œPal”(found behind the strike pad on some matchbooks). Great memories 1:14

    We used to only worry about love. Now everything is hate. Take me back in time lord. I want to be happy again.

    I went to Palisades Park a few times in the early '60s but after the record was released, the last time the circus was there and there was a big fire in a large apartment building and I saw a number of circus entertainers there watching the fire including Emmet Kelly Always loved that song and started bothering my dad to take my brother and me to Palisades Park I still have the 45 of Palisades Park

    After stumbling across this video I later watched the film State Fair, (1945 version), and thoroughly enjoyed it.
