This song was a massive success for Clooney and, in fact, topped the charts in 1951 while also selling more than a million copies. On top of that, it made Rosemary Clooney a household name.

This is a great song for so many reasons, from its catchy melody to the fun rhythm, and extremely clever lyrics.

Rosemary Clooney released her hit version in 1952, and it climb...
Interestingly enough, this is one of those songs that seems to have been recorded by everybody and his brother over the years, from Bing Crosby to Streisand, and even the Irish Tenors. But, nobody seems to have ever done it justice quite the way that Rosemary Clooney did back in 1951. It was written for a 1947 Broadway musical called “Finian’s Rain...
