Who cares about the thumps up? and who cares what brought you here to here this amazing song.. Just listen to the Copa.. Copacabana. The hottest spot north of havana
Thank you for your information. I checked google map and confirmed copacabana at the north of habana in cuba. And also I confirmed copacabana ( song) at Wikipedia, "The song's title refers to the famous New York night club, the Copacabana,"
My knowledge became rich.
I want to go to both club copacabana in US and Cuba, after my retirement. Thank you very much.
Yeah, this place actually exists in my Cuba, its true, the name came from other place in Brasil, but in Cuba we have the Copacabana club, where there are a lot of Lolas dancing and dreaming with a better life.
I am a Black dude but i must say that i had a chance to watch Manilow live 1 weekend when i was a child & has been a fan ever since. I think this song was released in 1980 but it was 82 when i went to see him with some friends and their parents. Spiral staircase was a good group also: too bad i never got a chance to see them
@endangeredgenus Yeah, but oddly, it's not listed in the book "I Hate Myself and Want to Die", which is all about depressing songs (check Amazon.com).
If a song is good, it will appeal to all ages. I find it funny how in most of these older songs, young people comment and think they're the only young ones that like this music. You're not the only ones. But you do have good taste.
I'm 19. I'm always getting teased by my friends for liking 'old people music' like this. They think it's weird my favourtie artists are also my mum and nans favourites.
I think their stupid if they believe Lady Gaga-pixie-boots or whoever she is, is better than Manilow, SInatra and Dean Martin.
there was this one episode of friends where rachel started singing this at a wedding in a big pink dress. i know what hes talking about. do you some research before you comment dumbass.
@SophiaNC24 You're mad because I questioned your comment without insulting you? That was easy. Besides, you think I have the time and energy to check the backround of the thousands of songs I like and every aspect of them? I know you dont. This song is too vivid to be thinking of sitcoms anyway.
I'm reading alot of naive comments. Everyone who can listen to this and think of 'freinds' is screwed up in the head and is totally ignoring the lyrics. You kids ever heard of 'deception'? Obviously not. Whats wrong with you people.
I'm glad the lyrics were added to this video. I never knew how sad this song is. This song is soooooo sad. Poor Lola lost her Tony to Rico in a gun fight and now, 30 years later, she's still at the Copa, aged, drinking and now without her long lost love Tony. So sad... but the music really swings.
Great classic song! This is the original, full length version. I know because I still have his original album with all of his hits. Thanks for posting the words too. How can you not sing along when you hear it? Makes me feel like dancing my a** off! ; )
He is singing about "The Copacabana" it was a night club in New York City, I'm not sure if it is still there or not but it was very popluar during the 30's,40's and 50's.
@dorothysmom But Copacabana is also a neighbouhood in Rio de Janeiro City. He made this song at the Copacabana Palace hotel, in front of Copacabana Beach! I saw it in wikipedia. O Rio é Maravilhoso!!!!

From Japan.
I have listened it for 30 years. I love it.
I had believed Copacabana in north of Habana, for a long time .
Recently, I knew Copacabana is in Brasil far from Habana.
Now, I understand this song is related with a cabaret in NY city.
