Dean and the Kid at Paramount after taping You're Never Too Young
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
"I can out-dance Dean Martin, but I could never out-sing him," was one of his favorite lines.
Hey pallies, the youngens diggs our Dino, the oldsters diggs our Dino...people of all ages and stages of life, just can't gets 'nough of our great man! The last Dinogram was 'bout a young chick tagged Harley who has become Dino-obsessed. This here Dinogram is 'bout a cetenarian tagged Allen Jackson who has just departed the planet at age 106, who spoke of dancin' with our Dino for the troops durin' WWII.
Mr. Jackson sez of our Dino: "I can out-dance Dean Martin, but I could never out-sing him." We thanks Mr. Brett Prettyman of the Salt Lake Tribune (clicks on tagg of this Dinopost to goes there) for lettin' us know of Mr. Jackson's Dinodevotion.
Just goes to show that pallies of all ages and stages have come to know, love, and honor our Dino....everybody loves our Dino all the times! Let's keep spreadin' the Dinomessage of cool as Dinofar and Dinowide as Dinopossible! Dinoforever, DMP

Jackson kept old newspaper clippings and photographs at... (Chris Detrick/Tribune file photo)«123»Allan Jackson loved to tell stories almost as much as people loved to hear them.
He told one about entertaining injured soldiers at Camp Kearns, the World War II Army facility, by dancing with Shirley Temple and Dean Martin.
"I can out-dance Dean Martin, but I could never out-sing him," was one of his favorite lines.
Jackson, who would have turned 106 later this month, passed away Monday at his home in Rose Park. But the stories from his full life may last forever.
Born in the Bahamas in 1903, Jackson had 15 siblings, including a twin brother, Allen, who is still living in New York. Older brother Joseph, 108, is also still living on the East Coast.
Jackson was married seven times, but divorced only once. He outlived six wives, including his last, Esther, who died in 1994. He had 38 children and more than 50 great-grandchildren.
Jackson grew up in Montgomery, Ala., and enlisted in the Army in 1942. He served two years in China, Burma and India, transferring fuel for U.S. bombers before being sent to Camp Kearns in the Salt Lake Valley in 1944.
Pam Todd met Jackson the day he turned 100. Todd was founder of the Kearns Historical Society and was gathering stories from soldiers who had been stationed at the World War II camp. She was instantly enthralled.
"He had a special way about him. He just really connected with everybody," said Todd. "When he said he was happy to meet you he meant it. You always knew he was glad to see you."
During that first meeting, Todd learned Jackson was the last soldier to leave Camp Kearns in 1946 and had chained and locked the gates. Jackson was also featured in the KUED Ch. 7 documentary "Utah World War II Stories," which aired in 2005.
Jackson talked about the segregation black soldiers faced at Camp Kearns throughout the years, but never in a negative way. In fact, Todd said it was the kindness of locals that made him stay after the war ended.
"He felt accepted in Utah. He loved it here. It was his home," Todd said.
In 2006, Todd and Jackson worked together to get the St. Paul United Methodist Church in Copperton added to the National Historic Register. The building had originally served as the church for Camp Kearns, but Jackson and his fellow black soldiers were not allowed to enter the building. They had to use the theater for their church services.
"He was 103 the first time he walked into that church and he held no bad feelings whatsoever," Todd said. "We were walking arm in arm into the church and he said 'Here I am to save God's house.' He was proud of the things he was doing."
Todd called Jackson a walking history book and her trump card when it came to preserving the history of Kearns.
Wayne Hunting was a more recent acquaintance. As a member of the Utah Patriot Guard Riders motorcycle club, Hunting was supposed to arrange for Jackson to ride in a parade during the Kearns Days Celebration in June. The mayor had also officially declared it Allan Jackson Day, but Jackson fell ill the night before the event and was in the hospital. Hunting and the other riders decided to visit Jackson there and ended up taking him for a ride through his Rose Park neighborhood after he returned home.
"He touched our lives remarkably quick. It is just the type of person he was. He had this people magnetism about him even in his frail state," Hunting said. "There are a bunch of rugged bikers who are crying for his loss."
Funeral services are pending.

Rats and royals in Old Globe's plan
By James Hebert
Sunday, November 1, 2009
The Old Globe will square off with a couple of kings and circle back to the Rat Pack in the theater’s just-announced summer season, which includes the annual three-play Summer Shakespeare Festival and two other productions – one a world-premiere musical.
Adrian Noble, the artistic director of the 2010 Shakespeare fest, will direct the Bard’s sweeping “King Lear” as well as “The Madness of George III,” Alan Bennett’s play about the long-reigning British monarch. The Shakespeare lineup also will include the much-loved comedy “The Taming of the Shrew” (with no director announced yet).
Outside the festival, locally bred director-choreographer Casey Nicholaw (Tony-nominated for “The Drowsy Chaperone” and “Spamalot”) will direct a Broadway-bound, world-premiere adaptation of the movie musical “Robin and the 7 Hoods.”
The 1964 film, a gangster takeoff on the Robin Hood legend, starred Rat Pack mainstays Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. – whose life is the subject of the currently running Globe show “Sammy.” The stage version will include “My Kind of Town” and other songs written for the movie by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen.
The adaptation is by Rupert Holmes, the veteran composer-writer who penned the book to another Globe movie-based musical, last summer’s “The First Wives Club.”
Rounding out the summer season is “The Last Romance,” a romantic comedy that will star Marion Ross, the Globe associate artist, SDSU grad and longtime local resident perhaps best known for her role on TV’s “Happy Days.”
The playwright is Joe DiPietro, who also wrote the off-Broadway hit “I Love You,You’re Perfect, Now Change” and the current Broadway show “Memphis” (directed by La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley).
“Robin and the 7 Hoods” stands to be the season’s most attention-getting show. It’ll come to the Globe, which celebrates its 75th birthday in 2010, with producers already in place for a (presumed) Broadway transfer.
“I’m excited about the music, the songbook of Sammy Cahn,” said Louis G. Spisto, the Globe’s CEO/executive producer. “And it’s a great treat to work with Casey Nicholaw, who’s one of the hottest talents on Broadway.
“He’s perfect for this piece. And I wanted to have people join us for our 75th-anniversary celebration, particularly for the summer season, who had some connection to us and San Diego. (Nicholaw choreographed “Lucky Duck” for the Globe in 2005.)
Spisto described “The Last Romance,” to be directed by Richard Seer, as “a wonderful showcase for Marion and Paul (Michael, her partner in life). It’s a terrific piece about love in an older stage of one’s life – the transformative power of love.
“It fits us, and I wanted Marion to come to the new theater” – the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, the Globe second stage that opens in January. “She’s a marvelous part of the Old Globe and San Diego.”
As for the Shakespeare fest, Noble – who takes over from the former artistic director, Darko Tresnjak – will follow his predecessor’s lead in staging one non-Shakespeare work. “The Madness of George III” was a success in England when it premiered in 1991, but most Americans are more familiar with the 1994 film adaptation.
Noble, who headed Britain’s Royal Shakespeare Company for 13 years, said when the Globe announced his appointment earlier this year that he was strongly considering a production of “King Lear.” Spisto said he proposed “George III” to Noble because “it pairs beautifully with ‘Lear.’ Both plays are about powerful monarchs who are ill, who have emotional and psychological issues, They’re grappling with their power and their families. They’re very interesting bookends, these two plays.”
The always-popular “Shrew,” Spisto says, is “in some ways a foil to the other two plays. It’s a lighter piece, very accessible.”
He adds that Noble and designer Ralph Funicello plan to re-conceive the scenic approach to the festival, whose three plays run in repertory on the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Stage.
The Shakespeare festival runs June 12 to Sept. 26. “Robin and the 7 Hoods,” July 14 to Aug. 22; and “The Last Romance,” July 30 to Sept. 5. Tickets are available now by season subscription only; for more details, call (619) 234-5623, or visit TheOldGlobe.org.

It also features a hilarious introduction by none other than Dean Martin, where he discusses the art of drinking.
Hey pallies, likes the web is certainly a Dinowonderland of Dinodiscovery for all sorts of Dinotreasures. At the pad "Cocktailia" comes news of a way cool book tagged "Stoned Like A Statue" circa 1961 that has an intro by none other then our Dino.
If you clicks on the tagg of this Dinogram you can read this in it's original format, and likes if you goes there you can then clicks on a link to read our Dino's words of wisdom that opens the book (a picture of that page appears below and likes if you clicks on the pix you will be able to read it here as Dinowell).
Never knew our Dino coulda put pens to paper likes this...but certainly our Dino shows such Dinowisdom in every single Dinoword that he has chosen...loves to read his Dinohistory of enjoyin' some liquid libations.
And, likes pallies, couldn't resist also sharin' this Dinopix that I loves so much of our Dino readin' 'bout the drinkin' man's diet.... Dinolushly, DMP
Stoned like a Statue
In nice weather we like to go to the monthly antique flea market in Alameda, Antiques by the Bay. We’ll wander around this enormous place for a few hours admiring all the great furniture, clothing, and collectibles, then head over to Forbidden Island for an afternoon Mai Tai. We’re not the only ones — there’s a good-sized contingent of people who do the same thing. So many, in fact, that Forbidden Island now has DJs starting at 3:00pm on the first Sunday of the month, right after the flea market closes.
Every once in a while we’ll buy stuff too. Our most recent trip turned up this gem from 1961, Stoned like a Statue: A Complete Survey of Drinking Cliches, Primitive, Classical, and Modern.
I’m not really sure how to describe this book. It’s around 80 pages exactly like the ones you see pictured here. I don’t know how I was unaware of this book’s existence for so long, but I sure am glad I found it.
It also features a hilarious introduction by none other than Dean Martin, where he discusses the art of drinking.
My taste in art has matured over the years and like many connoisseurs I have become an authority. My weaknesses: The Primitive art from the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky… The impressionist Johnny Walker… The native handiwork turned out by villagers just stamping their feet…
It’s signed Dino, of course. Be sure to to read the whole thing.

SCARED STIFF - Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis & Carmen Miranda (1953)
Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, well, there's not much new I can say about these showbiz icons, so let's just get with it! Here's some seriously cool photos and songs from the 1953 zany classic, "Scared Stiff!"
The musical credits give you all the information you need to know!!
This movie is all about music and starts right up with Dean's act at the club!
Dorthy Malone plays the part of Rosie!! Dorthy meet Jerry before I beat the crap out of him!!
Jiggers, the cops!!!
When Jerry Lewis puts on his game face, he's really scary!!
Time to sail off into the unknown, and for all you schmaltzy Dean lovers, here's "Dino" with a classic love song!
Frank Fontaine as the obnoxious drunk on the pier would go on to have a number one record 9 years later with his "Songs I Sing On The Jackie Gleason Show" LP!! In character as Crazy Guggenheim, the non-drinking Fontaine, could barely put a sentence together, but had a smooth singing style out of character, just like Jim Nabors when he wasn't Gomer!!
My favorite thing that Jerry Lewis does, is when he stands behind some one and mimics and mocks them!! That'll get me rolling on the floor every time!!
Carmen Miranda as Carmelita Castinha performs here in her last film role, with the boys and "Bongo Bingo"! I love the countdown at the end! Defies comprehension to me!
There's no way to forget "Enchiladas", even if you try, because just like in real life, they will come back to haunt you! Listen to this at your own risk and guard your crystal!
And once again to justify the whole thing, see, there is actually a ghost!!
"Carmen's Late", so of course, Jerry has to go on for her miming to a record! He almost pulls it off, and the crowd is just weird enough not to care!
It might be her last movie, but backstage with the gang, Carmen doesn't look like she knew she was going to get this kind of send up!
Super scary sequence giving new meaning to the word 'armchair!'
Oh, it's Bob Hope and Bing Crosby!! Imagine that!!! How ironic!! And they're skeletons!!! Wow, how is that even possible or plausible? And, in the, Oh, Yeah, department, am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious that another Martin/Lewis movie made in the same year titled "The Caddy" had an actor in it whose name was Lewis Martin??? That's just weird!!!

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, well, there's not much new I can say about these showbiz icons, so let's just get with it! Here's some seriously cool photos and songs from the 1953 zany classic, "Scared Stiff!"
The musical credits give you all the information you need to know!!
This movie is all about music and starts right up with Dean's act at the club!
Dorthy Malone plays the part of Rosie!! Dorthy meet Jerry before I beat the crap out of him!!
Jiggers, the cops!!!
When Jerry Lewis puts on his game face, he's really scary!!
Time to sail off into the unknown, and for all you schmaltzy Dean lovers, here's "Dino" with a classic love song!

....he's trying to be like his hero, Dean Martin.
Hey pallies, in the midst of our celebratin' of Dinoween comes this news from the Minnesota Public Radio blogg (clicks on tagg of this Dinogram to goes there) comes news that perhaps, just perhaps, Mr. Bob Dylan is doin' some Dinoemulation on this new Christmas Album "Christmas In The Heart."
Reads these words by artist Dan Graham on Bob Dylan's heart quoted by Marianne Combs.
Mr. Graham speaks of our Dino bein' Dylan's "hero." How stellar cool is that....not only was our Dino the idol of the Elvis, he is also the hero of Bob Dylan.
Woulda likes to get this winter album from Dylan just to listen for the Dinoemulation... Dinodelightedly, DMP
I think on the new album "Christmas in the Heart" he's trying to be like his hero, Dean Martin. He's always loved Dean Martin. Of course there's the whole idea of if he's doing things from the heart or not; he's dealing with the cliche of doing things from the heart. In "Chronicles" (Dylan's autobiography), he talks about being a normal family man, having a good marriage, but in fact he was cheating on his wife the entire time. So, I think he's trying to portray himself as somebody who has heart."

MARIA: The King of Comedy
Hey pallies, as per my Dinorequest, our Maria has shared the details behind the letter that she sent to the jer and Mr. Lewis' response with a great signed pix of our Dino and himself. To read this in it's original format, just clicks on the tagg of this Dinogram. Congratulations to our Dinoholic Maria and best wishes as you get interviewed 'bout your Dinoaddiction and Dinoblogg by a newspaper.... Dinosupportively, DMP
The King of Comedy
That name was given to Jerry Lewis early in his career. First he teemed up with fabulous Dean Martin, the crooner , tv persona, movie star and so much more. Than came the bitter brake up, and USA was in tears for long time, after all they lost one of the best comedy teams of the century.
Lewis remained at Paramount and became a major comedy star with his first film as a solo comic.
When i really started to learn about Dean, i didn't like Jerry. I always thought that was the one who broke the team. Then i read his book, i saw his interviews and live footage from Martin and Lewis time. The seconds i finished reading his book, i understood how much he loves Dean Martin. And i mean, you can see it in his eyes, when he looked at Dean perform or when Frank reunited Martin and Lewis at Telethon. So when ever i see or hear Jerry talk about Dean, it's like to hear a little brother who is so proud of his oldest brother. And some times i think how and what would have happend if they staid together? But then, like Dean said: "...the best thing that has happened to me is when i met Jerry! And the second best is when i left Jerry."
So why am i writing this? Well a couple of weeks ago i wrought a letter to Jerry where i said that Martin and Lewis helped me threw my parents divorce and that i just love Jerry's movies. etc. Well, i never thought that i would get an answer! But i did. He send a signed picture of Martin and Lewis.
So this is kind of big for me, u know? jerry has been a big influens on me and i thank him for just being Jerry!
By the way, next i will have an interview about my blog and Dean passion : ) Wish me luck ; )

Ain't That A Kick In The Head?
Obama visits sailors at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida this afternoon in full campaign mode for the next few days in Florida. The troops in harm's way can wait when there are Democratic fundraisers to attend.
OBAMA: I know Dick Cheney thinks I'm dithering on the war and emboldening our enemy by waffling. But what Cheney calls dithering, I call solemn responsibility to entertain the men and women in uniform in the traditions of Bob Hope. Sure the morale is at an all-time low in Afghanistan, but just ask these sailors here in Jacksonville about morale after I lip sync a little Dean Martin for them!
OBAMA: I may not be listening to that General what's-his-name... McCarthy... McCraken, ehhhh Mickey D's fellow, but I am taking requests for the next fake Karaoke song. Load up the teleprompter Joe!

Richard Moody's Complete Childhood Video
Something’s Got to Give (1962): Ellen Arden (Monroe), mother of two small children, was a photographer on a trans-pacific yacht race when she was swept overboard. After an exhaustive search her husband Nick (Dean Martin) has her declared dead. On the same day her husband is married to Bianca (Cyd Charisse). While they are on their honeymoon, Ellen returns home after having been rescued from an island where she has been marooned for 5 years, and although the family dog remembers her, the children do not. However, the children take a liking to her, and invite her to stay. Ellen poses as a woman named Ingrid Tic, impersonating a foreign accent. Nick obviously recognizes the woman, however Bianca does not, but his assumptions are not proven until he spies Ellen laughing while swimming in the pool while in the nude late at night. After this, Nick learns that she was marooned on the island with Stephen Burkett (Tom Tryon) known as "Adam" to her "Eve". To allay Nick's fears, Ellen enlists a meek shoe salesman (Wally Cox) to impersonate her island companion.

Dean Martin and a fitting send-off for my Uncle Sid
Hey pallies, likes you just never ever know where our Dino is gonna shows up next...likes in this article by Martin Samuel 'bout the funeral of his Uncle Sid. Clicks on the tagg of this Dinomessage to goes to the UK Daily Mail pad to checks it out in it's original context.
This is probably one of the most unusual Dinomentions I have ever shared...but shows how universal our Dino is known and loved. Also sharin' our Dino singin' 'bout "Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me," from a live Dinogig in London 1983. Dinoforever, DMP
Dean Martin and a fitting send-off for my Uncle Sid
By Martin Samuel
Vicar: Reverend Ed Tomlinson said he feels 'like a lemon' at modern funerals
When uncle Sid died, the vicar stood in front of the mourners with a gentle smile. 'Sid didn't believe in God,' he said, 'so I'm hoping that wherever he is now, he's very surprised.'
It was the word 'hoping' that I liked. The vicar was a man of God, but he knew what he was up against in church that day. He knew that in people like Sid, and people who liked Sid, he was not preaching to the converted.
Sid was going out to Little Ole Wine Drinker, Me by Dean Martin - the irony being I can never recall his touching a drop of the stuff in his life. Sid was a whisky man and he liked it straight. He regarded water with suspicion, as if it were a particularly inadequate mixer.
During one spectacular coughing fit caused by his choice of solids to accompany the whisky - 40 cigarettes daily - he was offered a glass from the tap. 'No thanks, son,' he said between wheezes. 'I tried water once, tasted of nothing.'
And that is what some people think about the Church of England, too. That it tastes of nothing. They would prefer something stronger, with a bit of oomph, a little more fire and brimstone, a greater commitment to the cause. Yet no religion could have given Sid a better send-off than he had that day.
The vicar held a service for a man who never set foot inside a church unless he had to, yet did so with dignity and humour. He introduced faith for those that sought comfort from it, and displayed humanity and respect for those who were there just for Sid. And, in doing so, he converted a room of people, not to the beliefs of the Church of England, but to the idea of it.
The very modern, very civilised, concept of a faith that can be all things to all men with a common decency that may come from the teachings of God, or the teachings of Man on subjects as wide-ranging as conservation and contraception. A faith that embraces the Bible and Dean Martin, Charles Wesley and Sid.
Wesley wrote more than 5,500 hymns, including the popular Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and the strangely obscure The Great Archangel's Trump. Some would argue Wesley and other devout men are all funeral services should consist of, even in secular times.
Ed Tomlinson, a vicar in Tunbridge Wells, talked this week of standing like a lemon at a crematorium listening to Tina Turner singing Simply The Best. He railed at the 'pithy platitudes of sentimental and secular poets'. He missed the point by a mile.
For a start, not all modern music is trite. When If Ever I Would Leave You, from the musical Camelot, was played at my father-in-law's funeral as his farewell to the wife he had known since they were at school together, it was a poignant moment unmatched by any hymn. Further than that, it is when reaching out beyond the realm of the faithful that the Church of England is at its best.
Father Tomlinson is not there for the guy in the coffin with the questionable taste in music. He is there for the living, to provide spiritual comfort for those that believe, and a soft voice of goodness for the rest.
And his Church is not redundant, but more relevant than ever, precisely because it resists dogma, hectoring or the fanatical, because it does not move people to acts of violence or cruelty.
The Pope proposes to welcome Anglicans to the Roman Catholic Church, but the ones most eager to take him up on the offer will be those out of step with society, who vehemently oppose the ordination of women as priests, for example.
They see the Church of England as feeble and compromised, they hear Dean Martin where a church organ should be and think it has lost its place in society. They are wrong.
There is great modernity in the inclusiveness of the Anglican Church because it places human kindness to the fore. And that simple grace should never be mistaken for weakness. As Father Tomlinson may come to understand, it is actually his Church's greatest strength.
Once again with feeling
Simply The Best and other funeral favourites such as Wind Beneath My Wings and My Heart Will Go On are irredeemably appalling, but there are some pretty lousy hymns, too. Ever heard There Is A Fountain by William Cowper?
For a start, the fountain is filled with blood, therefore coming off a bit like a rather unnerving Hammer horror film rather than a song of praise.
It also includes this bizarre couplet: 'Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save / When this poor lisping, stammering tongue, lies silent in the grave.'
So we're singing but silent, yes? Dead, buried, yet somehow still singing. Cowper also wrote the line: 'God moves in mysterious ways.' He sure does.
This is probably one of the most unusual Dinomentions I have ever shared...but shows how universal our Dino is known and loved. Also sharin' our Dino singin' 'bout "Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me," from a live Dinogig in London 1983. Dinoforever, DMP
Dean Martin and a fitting send-off for my Uncle Sid
By Martin Samuel
Vicar: Reverend Ed Tomlinson said he feels 'like a lemon' at modern funeralsWhen uncle Sid died, the vicar stood in front of the mourners with a gentle smile. 'Sid didn't believe in God,' he said, 'so I'm hoping that wherever he is now, he's very surprised.'
It was the word 'hoping' that I liked. The vicar was a man of God, but he knew what he was up against in church that day. He knew that in people like Sid, and people who liked Sid, he was not preaching to the converted.
Sid was going out to Little Ole Wine Drinker, Me by Dean Martin - the irony being I can never recall his touching a drop of the stuff in his life. Sid was a whisky man and he liked it straight. He regarded water with suspicion, as if it were a particularly inadequate mixer.
During one spectacular coughing fit caused by his choice of solids to accompany the whisky - 40 cigarettes daily - he was offered a glass from the tap. 'No thanks, son,' he said between wheezes. 'I tried water once, tasted of nothing.'
And that is what some people think about the Church of England, too. That it tastes of nothing. They would prefer something stronger, with a bit of oomph, a little more fire and brimstone, a greater commitment to the cause. Yet no religion could have given Sid a better send-off than he had that day.
The vicar held a service for a man who never set foot inside a church unless he had to, yet did so with dignity and humour. He introduced faith for those that sought comfort from it, and displayed humanity and respect for those who were there just for Sid. And, in doing so, he converted a room of people, not to the beliefs of the Church of England, but to the idea of it.

(3) Passion Singapore 60s Music & Dean Martin
"I had encouraged Andy to trys out his own form of patter usin' what he tagged Singlish...a combo of his native tongue and English, and here is where he created in honor of our Dino... all I gotta say is that my Dinobro has just started my Dinoday off with a huge Dinobuddagrin with this fun post! Thanks pallie, for all your efforts for our Dino and for bein' such a cool Dinopallie! Dinodelightedly." DMP October 23, 2009.
It just goes to show the passion people have. It will be an exception in our country if Singapore 60s music has followers like Dino Martin Peters who takes time and trouble to write, almost every other day, about Dean Martin. Queen's English, Standard English or even in Singlish, I wish more enthusiasts would write and blog about Singapore music from the 50s.

Hoy es un buen día...
...para escuchar That's Amore. Demasiado tiempo he tardado yo en colgar este vídeo, pero dicen nunca es tarde si la dicha es buena... ¿Ven ustedes por qué Dino fue siempre el más grande?
"The Caddy" es su título original, aunque aquí España, guasones que somos y cual si fuera una peli de Pajares y Esteso, le pusimos "¡Qué par de golfantes!"... No es que sea una maravilla de historia, pero sólo por la escena anterior bien merece un par de visionados, ¿no creen?
Va por ti, va por ustedes! ;-)
"That's amore" (Dean Martin, 1953)
(In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what they say)
When the Moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
