Keeping with the theme (5): Edited June 13, 2022 by User 905133 to add another association with 5 1

user905133 Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I like Bette Midler's version better than the one I have been hearing in TV commercials. Here's another favorite popularized by the Divine Miss M.
Notes_Norton Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 Hmmm, I didn't get the association. I may be quite dense at times, please explain. So Far Away - Carole King 1

So Far Away - Carole King Sorry, I forgot to draw the connection. So here it is: Brigitte Bardot - Mambo Italiano = Dancer [posted by pwalpwal] Music : Mambo Italiano - Bette Midler - Sings Rosemary Clooney Songbook - 2003' I should have spelled that out in the "From A Distance" post when I wrote the following: 2 hours ago, User 905133 said: I like Bette Midler's version better than the one I have been hearing in TV commercials. Here's another favorite popularized by the Divine Miss M. We have been having TV commercials here for something (maybe a restaurant?) that sounds like Dean Martin singing Mambo Italiano.** I like Bette Midler's version better! Sorry I didn't spell that out earlier. Thanks for asking. **Just Googled it. Yup--the ear didn't lie--it IS Dean Martin's version. I won't post the link to the commercial, but you can find it as "Mambo Italiano | Made possible by Hosts | Airbnb." I was wrong--not a restaurant ad. No disrespect to Dean Martin intended. Its more that I am sick of the commercial, not his soothing voice. Edited June 13, 2022 by User 905133 1
