Loved this album as a kid, remember my dad getting it as a promotional deal. Sergio Mendes does my favorite version of this song, no disrespect to Nat King Cole fans! On the album, I also remember Claudine Longette singing "Snow" and Pete Jolly singing "Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Thanks so much for posting!

Thanks so much for doing this - it was a great album and I still have the vinyl but haven't had the time to convert. Did you or do you know if anyone else has put some of the other songs from the album here on YouTube?

@rcspencer1 Yes. Partridge In A Pear Tree by the Baja Marimba Band was just put up today, as a matter of fact. cYSvxs3ejT8

Oh, I rather like the repeated instrumental bridge! :-)

WOW! I can't believe someone else actually has this! I loved this whole record when my dad got it from the tire store...I only wish they had put the whole thing on CD....I transferred it from record to cd myself, but it would have been better to have the "real" thing... thanks for posting this...I'm a huge Brazil '66 fan, too...

Thanks for the correct take on this. I have the Brad Benedict CD, and, like you, never understood the reason for the double-loop instrumental.

I love Brasil '66, but I didn't like the arrangement used for this song. The vocals and the background instruments seem to be going in separate directions at times. I prefer to listen to the version by the Tijuana Brass.
