The song became a hit for Del Shannon in 1962, whose recording featured a distinctive yodel by the artist, popularly used in some country music of the time. The single peaked at number 64 on the US Billboard charts.[2] . It was the only record of Del Shannon's early career to cross to the Billboard Easy Listening chart, where it peaked at number 19.[3] Outside the US, "The Swiss Maid" reached number 2 on the UK chart and number one in Australia.

gollark: It's not even copying Windows, which might be *slightly* useful (it has *some* good bits) as much as just the obvious user visible bits.
gollark: There are so many vaguely Windows-type things which just randomly add a GUI and start menu and stuff and it helps nobody.
gollark: Please do not produce "Windows" clone 120981950.
