[kf6rcktheradioman]

I'm an Italian from telegraph hill my mom played Lou monte all the time lmao when I was little

[peterttoppi]

listen to the song growing up in my grandma's and grandpa's house I still love it into the 2 idiots that fighting on this thing I think you both need to get a life

[AliBanana1493]

Grew up listening to this song! haha

[windstorm1000]

it must be a Italian dialect??

[peppinodeleo]

@windstorm1000 it's a dialect from Naples but he said in the song that he's from Calabria..eheh

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely novelty song!

[abctvads]

I have this 45 record, also listened to this as a kid!

[antofspades]

ha this got to be the first song ever to use auto tune or synthesizer cant tell ......brings me back memories

[JJKrobo]

I have this original single around somewhere.

[tearsofblue3293]

i have been listening to this song since i was born in 1993 it has so many family memories and good times along with passed memories and will have a bunch of memories still left to go in the future! ♥

[iTzCrazyMe]

es como las ardillitas de lalo guerrero xD

[faci81]

8 dislikes? honestly you kids must of been dropped on you're heads for eating paint chips!

[GMODCREATOR]

Damn I wish I could speak Italian, it sounds so sweet. 

[BRareHERE]

@GMODCREATOR Hi there!.. this is Neapolitan language not Italian : )) In fact I live in Naples and I speak Italian and Neapolitan, I love both of them but I like the second one 'cause it reminds me where I was born.. So probably you'll have to listening Neapolitan singers like Renato Carosone (Tu vuo' fa' l'Americano 4 example) if you like that sound ; ) Cheers to Everybody.. Merry Christmas and Happy 2012 from Italia!!!!

[GMODCREATOR]

@BRareHERE Thanks for that information! Merry Christmas to you too!

[pantsarewalking]

I like to call myself a Guap. I have a father from Guatemala, but my mom is Italian American. Can't tell you how happy i am to be Italian though. We got class, respect, honor, and we're freaking good lookin people haha. VIVA ITALIA!!!

[raydonato42276]

i used to have this record 33rpm but gay joe barone just took it ., he did'nt even ask if he can have it ., that okay joe your day will come when you get aids just for being a faggot !

[28751SUN]

HELP ME MY SOMABITCH CUMPUTER NO WRK TOO GOOD....I CULD NO HEAR THE WORDS FUNOBLE... I LIKE LOU MONTE.. MAKE LOUDER OK .....SOMEBOADY OUT THER KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO...THESE NOT TOO GOOD..THANKU...

[Girlkicka]

My favorite album when I was a kid.

[serlizzle]

my favourite Italian song when I was little <3

[realtalklife]

my nani sang this song to me and my sister and cousin. we danced and made a whole skit to the song now i am teaching my kids

[dmthunder]

Awesome!!!

[alanacouture]

my nonna taught this 2 me and she had the record so we danced to it n stuff :)

[barnaba1964]

the original version was in italian.... the singer called Aurelio Fierro....

[ZebraZabrina]

Lou Monte is one of my grandma's relatives..i guess you could say that he was one of mine too, and she used to sing this to me all the time when i was little<3

[duchesseagle404]

love it love it 

[mslonghair12]

This is my grandpa's uncle ! (:

[VelaToNorma7]

@mslonghair12 This is my dad. Shut the fuck up. Everyone thinks they're related to Lou Monte. Fucking psychos.

[mslonghair12]

@VelaToNorma7 Stop lying and saying that he's your dad. now whose the liar? you. I would give you my family history but i don't know you . so stop lying and get a life okay? Because your just a person behind a computer screen that thinks they're so cool because they can curse .

[mslonghair12]

@VelaToNorma7 I think that's so cute. Your jealous that i'm related to somebody famous and your hiding behind a computer screen thinking your so cool.

[VelaToNorma7]

@mslonghair12 Stop kidding yourself. Looking at you, no one would ever believe it if you told anyone else. Italians don't even like black people. Get over yourself and stop being such a sociopathic liar.

[mslonghair12]

@VelaToNorma7 Actually I'm italian so that's a funny one and anyway I don't need anyone to believe it ... it was a simple comment so how about you get a life and stop trying to be cool kay ?

[VelaToNorma7]

@mslonghair12 Actually, that is a funny thing because you're lying and it's so obvious. No one would ever believe you and it was a simple comment because to show how dumb you must think people are to believe you. Now go listen to your Justine Beaver and stay off the internet trying to make people believe you're Italian (which you OBVIOUSLY aren't).

[mslonghair12]

@VelaToNorma7 I'm not lying and it really IS a funny thing because I am Italian, most of my family is italian, so try again . And how could you EVER tell if I'm not italian because you've never met me. And I don't think you could really decided from my videos . So come on smart one , how ?

[springer7133]

[joclarkey]

My grandpa used to play this for us when we were kids. We loved it. I am 47 so a long time ago, but oh what memories!

[coolguy61114]

Thanks to everyone who thumbed up my other comment

[robzwife2006]

Just hearing this song makes me want to cry. Memories of my Mom singing this to us(my sisters, brother & I)when we were kids come flooding back.

[19mannino99]

[TheLuanne1963]

[bradenn]

@TheLuanne1963 hahaha what the fuck does that even mean? you seriously pork your gf to this song? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  good job man.

[mkl62]

A Top 5 hit for Lou Monte in January 1963. Well, as we get into this new year, what will the music scene be like? Only time would tell.

[JerusalemCherry]

I'm 37 years old now. When I used to visit my grandparents in Brooklyn NY my grandmother used to play this record for me. Now she is in her mid 90's at an old age home. I pull this song on youtube on my android phone and play it for her. Sometimes she cries but usually this old song makes her happy.

[richcapo]

@JerusalemCherry That's cool, man. I remember days like that.

[VitaRodriguez]

I'm Calabrese, too! Love this....reminds me of my grandmother making ravioli in the kitchen.......grazia!

[tommynacc]

My grandmother used to sing this song with me, then we would go over to my great-grandmother's and we would perform it over there!

I miss you both and love you very much!

Thanks so much for uploading to you tube!

[Raelspark]

There was little Pepino doing a cha-cha on the floor!!

[italiandancer97]

i miei nonni cantava questa canzone per me quando ero piccola! so che tutte le parole! io sono calabrese! :)

[80sRockIsKing]

me and my dad would dance to this song every winter saturday morning when i was little. i never did get those moves down....(:

[1993foxyroxy]

When i was a lil kid my grandfather amd i would sing this song together, i knew all the words....... ty grandfather for giving me a great memory......

[Spiridim1]

@1993foxyroxy

Lou Monte is great at weddings. I have his songs on my MP3 player, a mixture of disco, italian and oldies.

[AJtheStormspotter]

@1993foxyroxy Remember seeing him on the Ed Sullivan Show, and yes, I would sing along with him and my dad. Wish I could bring them all back. Thanks for the memories!

[antcole93]

@1993foxyroxy where was your grandfather from?

[VelaToNorma7]

@antcole93 Iraq.

[mbenedetti1]

@1993foxyroxy I too remember singing with my nonno when I was young. What a wonderful time in my life..............awesome memories!

[gracefullj]

This was played at the end of my Dad's funeral. He loved this song... we had the pianist quietly playing this as he went out... brings a smile on my face now!

[shmoelle]

At 6 years old I knew all the words to this song. Love it

[thebirdmaner]

This song makes me proud to be italian. ITALIAN PRIDE!!!!!!



[tweetysweety06519]

my great grandfather was a calabria man as well. hard heads.

[MJthrillerman]

una grande canzone!

[LvCiAn91]

uscivo pazzo x questa canzone da piccolooooo :D

[Simike87]

@LvCiAn91 LOL ma dove la sentivi? peccato che io non trovo una traduzione da nessuna parte!!! è bellissima sta canzoncella!!!

[LvCiAn91]

@Simike87 io sn della campania...e mio nonno aveva un casino di vinili...e cassette...e tra qst c'era l'originale di qst canzone....solo che non ricordo x nnt chi la canta...sn passati troppi anni xD

[Simike87]

@LvCiAn91 Grandissimo!!! E' anche un fatto strano che tuo nonno avesse queste canzoni perchè mi pare che Lou Monte fosse famoso solo in america, come le sue canzoni, per cui tuo nonno magari l'aveva preso da qualcuno che l'aveva importato!!! Se ce l'hai ancora tienitelo stretto, non venderlo per nessuna cifra, fidati :-)

[LvCiAn91]

@Simike87 ma cmq io avevo quella interamente in italiano...cioè napoletano...solo che non so dirti qual'è l'originale....se questa....oppure di Aurelio Fierro....io qst avevo,..fossi nato ank'io in qst epoca adesso sarei già in america sicurissimo :) cmq prova ad ascoltare l'altra...

[ROTTYLUV4ME]

EVERY ITALIAN HAS THIS RECORD LOL. I GREW UP ON THIS SONG.

[momoflogan]

Mia mamma e la nonna cantava questo e giocare a questo. Mi ricordo di ridere e ballare a questo.

My mother and grandmother sang this and play this. I remember laughing and dancing to this.

[stevarino1989]

The other day I saw a little brown mouse scurry across the room (thankfully it wasn't at MY house!) and I started singing this. XD

[oxdanielle0x]

my dad sings this to me

[markguerra1]

i have this record pepino the italian mouse. found it at my nonno's.

[mcaporale1216]

Mmmmmmm ... childhood ... :)

[Dudley1948]

@JarheadPatriot0311

lol....I can STILL watch this and laugh...but I should apologize to Pepino..!!

If Jarhead means you are or were in the Marines...thank you for serving our country.

If 0311 is you birthdate, then Happy birthday too.

[dethklok745]

Amo questa canzone e uno dei migliori cantanti italiani mai!!

[Ridolfi7284]

[levo9995]

forza italia e viva il sud!!

[MrNapoli360]

NO NO NO NO, YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG AND TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS BORN IN NAPOLI, LOU MONTE WAS CALABRESE AND THE CALABRESE SHARE THE SAME DIALECT WITH NAPOLI. NOT SICILIA. AND REMIND YOU OF OBAMA???? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

[SiculianuPazzu]

@MrNapoli360 Lou Monte was calabrese yes, but the calabrese dialect and the neapolitan dialect are very different... Well, the Northern Calabrian dialect sounds a little like Neapolitan, but it's not the same at all.

[ItalianoGrace]

the best ever

[ItalianoGrace]

the best ever

[carsjoer]

Anyone has the song in Danish with Raquel Rastenni and can uploade it?

[skipw171]

Thanks for all of these songs. It brings me back to my grandparents home when I was a kid, listening to them speak and sing in Italian...most of the time wondering what they were saying, but enjoying all of it anyway.

[ownzatpaintball]

And yes... My family is indeed Italian

[ownzatpaintball]

I'm only 14 but my dad grew up with Lou... So now I am too... Best singer ever!!!

[coolguy61114]

Lou Monte was a great singer one of the best from italy.

my papa is Lou monte's cousin i am italian too

I did not get to met him for his died before i was born :/

its too bad that he is dead THUMBS UP! if you agree

[alanacouture]

@coolguy61114 im 100% italian 2, from Calabria, Potenza, and Abbruzzi. lou monte is a good compromise 4 music wen my nonna comes over.

[mishaloong]

@coolguy61114 Thanks a million, Cool Guy! How wonderful to be writing a reply to a cousin of Lou Monte! I grew up in the USA with Lou Monte's songs, which I absolutely loved! So long ago and so far away, but every time I listen to his songs I experience the same sense of delight and joy I did when I was just a child. Grazie mille!

[narcovamp22]

[jfporco]

@MrBrozinsky Yes, My parents were born in Amantea Italy. I went to school for the Italian language in Genoa for 3 months...I stayed with family. I learned pretty good. Why do you ask?

[MrBrozinsky]

@jfporco intuizione amico, just one thing "dialetto" with 2 t bro not one; amantea di preciso dov'è in calabria?

[jfporco]

[fitsun02]

@Dudley1948

[jmarrello963]

@Dudley1948 his ears maybe? lol



[galanisj]

@Dudley1948 YES

[MsPandaRosa]

@Dudley1948

To point out the obvious, our President can't help his sugar-bowl ears...

Right now he could use Pepino's help!

[mrsbakr1]

@Dudley1948 could it be the jug ears? lol  good one dudley

[mrsbakr1]

@Dudley1948 could it be his jug ears? lol good one dudley

[tsartodd]

@Dudley1948 and all this time, i thought that the only pop song video that the President was involved was "woot there it is"!

XD

[Dudley1948]

@tsartodd

lol...I like that.

[VegasBilgeRat]

@Dudley1948 He reminds me of Obama because he's a sneaky little bastard. And the big ears.

[MsPandaRosa]

@VegasBilgeRat

well, I do have to agree with the ears, Pres. Obama does have the sugar-bowl ears

[JarheadPatriot0311]

@Dudley1948 I could not stop laughing at your comment and I scrolled to the pic and I fell on the floor laughing. The resemblance is uncanny!
