I always felt that Tony Hatch, the songwriter and producer, wrote this song about the Cavern, the underground nightclub where the Beatles got their start in Liverpool. All the signs are there - it's a "cellar full of noise". Tony provided such great songs and productions that played up Petula's strengths - it was a similar to Burt Bacharach and Hal David provided Dionne Warwick with songs and productions that brought out the best in her. Petula's 1960s hits stand the test of time to me - I've never grown tired of them. "Don't Sleep in the Subway" is still as charming as ever.

Frank, I'll bet you're right about The Cavern. That makes perfect sense.
Apparently the place where we can go is...Sesame Street? The opening bars certainly share a kinship! (But Petula got there first.)
Matt, now that you mention it, it's all I can hear!
Don't worry, Mark. Sunny day, everything's A-OK.
