Song title search - Oh Johnny

From: Rodney Rawlings rodney@druid.com

For years I have been looking for the name of a song I used to hear on the radio in Montreal in the fifties or early sixties. I don't remember all the words, but it went something like this (the X's stand for syllables):The boys and girls of XXX are XXXX XXX /And here's the reason why they're always happy as can be: Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, they kiss while they're whistlin'/Like this they go kissin'/Each day and night, oh/Johnny, oh Johnny, they etc. .I used to love this song as a kid. Can anyone help me track it down?

I have a midi-karaoke file of this song (playable with VanBasco), which I will send FREE to anyone who wants it. Just PM me with your e-mail address.

George: the song you linked to doesn't mention kissing or whistling. I think the one he wanted was this one: BACIARE, BACIARE.

Little difference it makes; it's a 10-year old request.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny how you can love!
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny heavens above,
You make my sad heart jump with joy,
And when you're near I just can't
Keep still a minute,
I'm so oh Johnny, oh Johnny please tell me dear,
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome it's true
But when I look at you,
I go oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh!

As I have said before, God the rubbish I remember!
Think The Andrews Sisters sang it, has that sort of harmony.
