(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
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul
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
Scuzzi me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
(When the moon hits you 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

Hearing Dean Martin on RP makes me laugh. I mean yes, the tune is not objectionable ... but no. Seems really out of place. Heh.
That's a moray!I was a little kid and my mom would swoon over Dean singing this song. That goes way back.
When you're diving at night, and your feet feel the bite,
That's a moray
When your hand's in the cave, suddenly you'll need saved,
That's a moray
When you blubber and scream, but you have a bad dream
That's amore
When he hits all your fingers, with teeth that are stingers,
A moray...
That's a moray, that's a moray
Little fella
When he bites on your thumb, takes a chunk of your bum,
That's a moray
When you reach in his cave, he's all bravo and brave
He's a moray
And it's not how it feels, and you know you have eels,
That's a moray....
Scuzza me, but you see, let them be, or you'll see
Lotsa morays.......

There was a place in Houston called 'Auntie Pastas' that had a number of local stage singers on the staff: waiters, kitchen, even a busboy. The music was the usual Italian schmaltz, but when this came around, the entire place would burst into song. Good times.

Playing songs like this in the music mix is why we love BillG and RP.
I wouldn't want to hear this everyday but once in awhile it's good to shake things up and give everyone a surprise. 7

He he...yep, cool.

Takes me back to my grandmother's handmade ravioli with my family around her dinning room table. 
I like the wiggle in his voice. :-)
Oh no, you should absolutely play that song. Last time I heard it on RP I was on my bike riding along the Tiber River pista ciclabile in Roma Nord one morning. Today I was cooking risotto....
Dusted off and given an airing once or twice a decade?
Been a while.

This is such a romantic song, you gotta play this. This would strengthen RP's electicity, I can't believe you've never played it before, play it, you'll get some old people listeners
I always wonder what our eclectic listener community (those who are basically unfamiliar with Americana) think when they hear this ol’ crooner tune!
