@gekko: cool, will check the film out! btw, original is Merle Travis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pfVvqLM_e4
apparently the version by Tennessee Ernie Ford (which is closer to the Platters' version in style) was a no. 1 hit once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joo90ZWrUkU

fwiw, here's the Johnny Cash version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfp2O9ADwGk

i still like the Platters' version best :)
