Swiss Boy
1986 single by Lou Sern
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Swiss Boy" is a single by Italo disco singer Tom Hooker, released in 1986 under the pseudonym Lou Sern (a pun on the Swiss city of Lucerne). At the beginning and towards the end of the song, a recreation of the Westminster Quarters clock chime can be heard.[1] The single was backed with the track "Cuckoo Clock (Instrumental)". Although the song was popular in Italy and in Europe, it was a much bigger hit in the Philippines, where it still remains popular to this day.
