"Young at Heart" is a song by British female music trio Bananarama from their debut album, Deep Sea Skiving (1983).
The song was later recorded by Scottish pop group the Bluebells, whose version reached the top of the UK Singles Chart after a re-release in 1993.
In 2002, the session musician Bobby Valentino, who performed the violin solo on the Bluebells' version of "Young at Heart", won the right to be recognised as co-author of the song after taking legal action.
Almost a decade later, after the Bluebells had disbanded, the song was re-released as a single on 15 March 1993 after being featured in a British TV advert for the Volkswagen Golf.
[3][4] It became a number-one hit on the UK chart for four weeks, leading to the band reforming temporarily to perform the song on BBC Television's Top of the Pops.
