I guess I'm showing my age as I can't remember his exact last name.

He became Italy's prime minister or something like that.

I think it was Dominico Modugno (pronounced Mo-dune-yo).

How about Louie Prima's "Che la luna".

I bought the record and played it at 33 rpm trying to get the words. It wasn't until DJ Murray The K was giving out the lyrics if you sent him a self stamp return envelope.

Hi Tom.......his name was Murray, Murray the K
yeah he's a hully gully man.
I remember the days when you either listened to Murray the K on 1010 WINS or Cousin Brucie on 77 WABC. The only song I could come up with was Besame Mucho.

Another reason that the words to Louis Louie are so unintelligible is that it was recorded live in the studio on one track. A microphone was hung from the ceiling several feet from the singer.

For those who are interested, it is the story of a Jamaican sailor who is going to sea and longing for his girlfriend. Not one dirty word. Here are the lyrics.

Louie Louie
CHORUS:
Louie Louie, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi,
I said Louie Louie, oh baby Me gotta go
Verse 1
Fine little girl waits for me Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone Never know if I make it home
CHORUS
Verse 2
Three nights and days I sail the sea Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there I smell the rose in her hair.
CHORUS
Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
GUITAR SOLO
Verse 3
See Jamaica, the moon above It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again Tell her I'll never leave again
CHORUS
Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

The Beatles, of course, did Michelle. The whole song was not in French, but "Michelle, ma belle, sont le mon qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble"

Yeah, but those weren't the words we used to sing in High School!

Which would be "Sie Liebt Dich" (on Swan records) and "“Komm gib mir deine Hand”.
