My - MP3 [Perry Como]

Perry Como / Ocean's Eleven (Soundtrack) / Pappa Loves Mombo


Don't write this song off just because of the artist. While Perry Como embodies the laidback smooth genre that fascinated our parents back in the 1950s and 60s, he is sort of considered old and stuffy by today's standards. However, I believe that behind his trademark sweater there was a real crazy person dying to cut loose. This song was probably considered pretty damn racy back in 1957. Listening to the lyrics today, I am amazed that this song hasn't been used on a Viagra commerical. This song is best known for being on the "Ocean's Eleven" soundtrack, which if you haven't heard it, is exceptional.

Papa loves mambo!
Mamma loves mambo!
Havin’ their fling again,
Younger than spring again,
Feelin’ that zing again, Wow!
