The version of "Que Sera Sera" to die for is the one by The High Keys, recorded in the early 60's. It's an R&B stomper, a cross between Ray Baretto's "El Watusi" and The Isley's version of "Twist & Shout". Complete with a football whistle on the chorus. Fabulous! Knocks Doris Day into a cocked hat.

There was also an earlier, and completely different Spanish song, "Que Sera" which I have on a compilation of Republican songs from the Spanish Civil War.
