However, the album contains a medley of music from the opera Carmen, centering on "Habanera" and also including portions of some of the group's earlier hits: "Spanish Flea", "A Taste of Honey", "Whipped Cream", "What Now My Love", "Zorba the Greek" and "Tijuana Taxi".

The band's leisurely rendition of "The Trolley Song" was in deliberate contrast to that of the well-known energetic version originally sung by Judy Garland in the film Meet Me in St. Louis.

Other old songs include the Cole Porter standard "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", originally sung by Mary Martin, and "The Love Nest", best known as the radio and TV theme of the George Burns and Gracie Allen programs.

Coleman was the composer of several Brass tunes (notably "Tijuana Taxi") and also played guitar, mandolin and banjo on several of the group's tracks.

Collaborating with Alpert in the production was his usual cadre of musicians, the Tijuana Brass, who are also featured on the album cover: Nick Ceroli (drums), Bob Edmondson (trombone), Tonni Kalash (trumpet), Lou Pagani (piano), John Pisano (guitar) and Pat Senatore (bass).
