I'll guess Mondays.

The only thing I know about Bert Kaempfert I learned from the Barenaked Ladies.

B: 3. It's doubtful Al Martino didn't know Naples is in Italy, but...

G: 1. Just cuz.

Dagnabbit. I bet I'm wrong. Madrid would make sense, wouldn't it? SPANISH eyes.

I'm thinking of Midnight in Moscow by Kenny Ball.

D'oh!!!

That's nuthin' T-Bone. I was s caught up in the fact that Naples wasn't in Spain, I forgot Madrid WAS! But Martino's Italian.....

B - What KT said.

Even on at least 1980's Kaempfert anthologies, of which I bought one in the dollar ninetyeight bin, this is labelled as Spanish Eyes. Despite the mandolins.

Moon Over Naples.

G - Too Many Rivers.

G team wins by two or three points.

OMG. I thought Madrid HAD to be right!

I suppose "Neopolitan Eyes" just doesn't have the right cadence....

Worst thing about this question is I'm old enough to actually remember Brenda Lee's song.

When I first heard "Spanish Eyes" my reaction was "you've got to be joking", or something like. It seemed to me Martino had not bought into the song at all, but was singing it for BS because some A and R man had said -- Spanish is big this year, look at Herb Alpert.....

Of course it became his biggest charted hit.

Brenda Lee was still very young IIRC but her sound was beginning to be heard as a bit old-fashioned, and that fact is there on "Too Many Rivers", IIRC her last big pop hit.
