The music was written by Harry Warren and the lyrics by Jack Brooks.
The biggest selling recording of the song was sung by Dean Martin (issued as Capitol Records catalog number 3352), reaching number 27 on the Billboard chart in 1956.
[4] More recently, Vale was interviewed by a YouTube user about the song, and had this to say about the way his version was recorded: Someone from Famous Music called me and told me they had that song, but he said "I've got to be honest with you, Dean Martin is doing it in the movie, and he's probably going to make a record for Capitol."
The recording was very unusual in that the musicians formed a circle, and I was in the middle of the orchestra, on a podium, with the microphone above my head.
[5]On the Cashbox magazine Best-Selling Records chart, which combined all versions of the song, it reached position number 17.
