Single release by American entertainer and vocalist Louis Prima, who often made use of Anglicisation of popular Italian (folk) songs. The A-side is a song by Victor (Gari) Corpora music by Milton Rogers, and the B-side is a song by Curley Hamner (aka William J. Hamner) and Lionel Hampton.

This Danish issue of the US version switched the A and the B-sides, and the item was part of my parents' record collection. It was a single I used to play on a portable turntable at 6-8 years of age. The front cover went missing early on, say some 3-4 decades ago.
