Also, Marion, the Italian-American folks will love songs like "That's Amore," "Arrividerci, Roma," "From The Vine Came The Grape," "Tico Ti, Tico Te," "Isle Of Capri," "Domani," "Tell Me That You Love Me Tonight" and other pop hits from the 1950s (by The Gaylords, Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.). For many of these songs, the popular version in the US was in English with a few Italian phrases thrown in.

One of my favorites from the '50s was "The Little Shoemaker," sung by The Gaylords in both English and Italian.

Check out Louis Prima records, too, for great versions of "Angelina," "E Cumpari," "Luna Mezz'o Mare," and "Oe, Mari!" among others. (Worth listening to even if you don't sing 'em!)
