Lou Monte The Mixed Up Bull From Palermo And Other Italian Fun Songs

Lou Monte is Italian all the way. The idea of him singing flamenco? Ridiculous. In this album, Lou sings some of his greatest Italian-American fun songs ever. Who'd ever think of adapting "Havah Nagilah" to an Italian-oriented lyric? Lou Monte. Who'd ever re-write "Hello, Dolly!" so that it sounds straight from Little Napoli? Lou Monte. Who'd ever dream up an Italian version of Tarzan? Not Edgar Rice Burroughs, Luigi.

Assisted by the great songwriting talents of the trio of expert satirists, Allen, Merrell and Scaglione, Lou and his pal Pepino dash through this album of fun songs like bubbling vino through an Italian wedding. For Lou Monte fans, this is the greatest.

His fame during the '60s-as well as his irrepressible sense of humor-led the greatest satirists in America to give Lou Monte their best novelty tunes of the day. This is some good, zany fun, circa 1963 on Reprise Records: Hello Dolly (Italian Style); Skinny Lena ; an Italian-styled Havah Nagilah; Jungle Louie (The Italian Tarzan), and much more!
