Wildwood Days

"Wildwood Days" is a song released by Bobby Rydell in 1963.

[1] Rydell's version spent 9 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No.

[4] The subject of the song is Wildwood, New Jersey, a city famous for its nightlife, which was a popular location for rock and roll performances at the time the song was recorded.

[5] It eventually became the official anthem of the city, and is played on the boardwalk's stereo system routinely.

A mural on the Wildwood boardwalk (painted in 2014) honors Rydell whose song put the community into the national spotlight.
