So awesome you posted this. I'm one of the kids that was singing on it. My dad was VP of Sales, and he hauled me and my cute neighbor Jenny in one morning to track that part with all the other children of TM employees. I was in 4th grade. Just found my 45 of this last week but it was broken.
Laughed out loud at the final note.
right now I want a world to where it can go back to the way it was prior to the Coronavirus
You know your Jim Kirk history! I worked at TM when this was produced. Jim and Abbey were the leads. The little girl was his niece, I believe. Can't remember all of the other voices but saw/heard them every day. What a power house of a company it was when Tom Merriman was there.
Good thing he wasn't born James T Kirk :D
I remember this song, I have it on a 45. I seem to remember the proceeds were to be aimed at the family's of the Iranian hostages probably with help of the Red Cross. My local radio station played the crap out of this back then.
This brings back so many great memories! I remember hearing it many times in 1980. Thank you so much for posting it here.
Me I want a world to where it would go back to the way it once was prior to the Coronavirus Pandemic, seems like a few months ago the world was a much different place than what it is now
entered Billboard Feb 16, 1980 ..reached #71
It should have been a Top 20 Hit!
I wish this still applied now
I have this on 45!!

Thank you for posting this. Now is the time for everyone to pay attention to the lyrics. They were written with passion that I can see, with love for God and the USA.
R...U...S...A..FUCKIN' KIDDING ME...:))))))))))))))))))))
early 80's at it's BEST!!!
This song was an attempt to boost America's during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, but to no avail.
