"When It's Night Time In Italy, It's Wednesday Over Here"

[PeterPiper00]

There is also an excellent foxtrot version and also a 1920s version from Fuhrman & Nash on but you can't post the link here. Just search for Nighttime in Italy and you'll get the others as well. There is also a fairly lame version by the Everly Bros.

I'm listening to Journey into space (the Dutch version, called

''Sprong in het heelal") right now, nice to hear this song for real! Thanks for uploading it.

I love the way it's mainly JIS fans who've found this vid!

i remember this was referenced to in the radio drama, "journey into space" am i right? jet and lemmy keep hearing it after whitaker dies?

[N4TH4NJ4Y]

@OoJohnisbackoO Yeah you're right. I'm listening to J.I.S at the moment, googled the lyrics to find out if it was a real song or if Whitaker had made it up :D

My dad used to sing it to us kids in the 80s. We never believed him that it was a real song. I just remembered about it tonight (25 years later) and found this!

Brilliant -- they don't write them like that any more...

[djb2211]

This song brings back memories of Journey into space, brilliant!

Part of this song was used during the radio play "Journey into Space: The Red Planet". Very glad to hear it on youtube! :)

@Edje66 [Part of this song was used during the radio play Journey into Space.]. You have a very good memory. That was broadcast on the radio back in 1954. -- Fifty-six years ago!

I also have this on a 78, but mine is by "The Two Gilberts" (described as 'comedians with orchestra'), on Regal (G8092). It was my grandmother's and I remember her playing it on an old gramophone with a big horn - I used to love it as a child, and I'm glad I inherited it!

Apparently Bing Crosby did a version of this song but Ive never heard it. The Everly Brothers do a version which I have heard. Nice one!

Billy Jones gives a great performance on this nonsense song! I especially like the line, "try to fondle a porcupine."
