Background

edit

It was sung in the film by teen actress Hayley Mills, using double-tracking because she played both the roles of twin sisters.[2] Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands also did a version of the song in the film, which is heard during the dance at the summer camp.

Chart performance

edit

When released on disc, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1961 (b/w "Cobbler, Cobbler") and went on to become a top 10 hit, peaking at number 8.[3] The credit on the single reads "Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills", a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mills apparently singing a duet with herself. Released in the UK, it reached the top 20, peaking at number 17. In 1963, the song reached #1 in Mexico.[4] The song's success led Mills to record an album, Let's Get Together with Hayley Mills, which included "Let's Get Together" and Mills' only other hit song, "Johnny Jingo."
