Dean Martin

thumb|I'd hate to be a teetotaller. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day. Dean Paul Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor, comedian, and film producer. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assuredness. He and Jerry Lewis formed the "Martin and Lewis" comedy team. He was a member of the "Rat Pack" and a star in concert stage/nightclubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television. He was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965–1974) and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (1974–1985). Quotes I'd hate to be a teetotaller. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day. Quoted by Leslie Halliwell in Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies (1984) Song lyrics When the moon hits your eyeLike a big pizza pie, that's Amore. When the world seems to shine Like you've had too much wine, that's Amore. Bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll sing, "Vita bella." Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay Like a gay tarantella. When the stars make you drool Just like a pasta e fasule, that's Amore. When you dance down the street With a cloud at your feet, you're in love. When you walk in a dream But you know, you're not dreaming, signore. Scusami, but you see Back in old Napoli, that's Amore. That's Amore, written by Harry Warren (music) and Jack Brooks (lyrics) (1953) How lucky can one guy be? I kissed her and she kissed me. Like the fella once said. "Ain't that a kick in the head?" The room was completely black. I hugged her and she hugged back. Like the sailor said, quote "Ain't that a hole in a boat?" My head keeps spinnin' I go to sleep and keep grinnin' If this is just the beginnin' My life is gonna be beautiful I've sunshine enough to spread It's just like the fella said Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head? Ain't That a Kick in the Head, written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn (1960) Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime. Everybody falls in love somehow. Something in your kiss just told me My sometime is now. Everybody finds somebody someplace. There's no telling where love may appear. Something in my heart keeps saying My someplace is here. If I had it in my power. I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms. Then every minute, every hour, Every boy would find what I found in your arms. Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime. And although my dream was overdue. Your love made it well worth waiting For someone like you. (choir) If I had it in my power. (Dean) I would arrange for every girl to have your charms. (choir) Then every minute, every hour. (Dean) Every boy would find what I found in your arms. Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime. And although my dream was overdue. Your love made it well worth waiting For someone like you. Everybody Loves Somebody, written by Irving Taylor and Ken Lane (1964) (choir) The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me. (Dean) Take one fresh and tender kiss. (choir: The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) (Dean) Add one stolen night of bliss (choir: The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy. (I was rover, but now it's over. It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me.) Memories are made of this. (Of the sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) Don't forget a small moon beam. (The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) Fold in lightly with a dream. Your lips and mine, two sips of wine. (The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) Memories are made of this. (I was rover, but now it's over. It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me.) Then add the wedding bells, one house where lovers dwell. Three little kids for the flavor, :stir carefully through the days. See how the flavor stays. These are the dreams you will savor. With His blessings from above. (The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) Serve it generously with love. (The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) One man, one wife, one love through life. (I was rover, but now it's over. It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me.) Memories are made of this. (Of the sweet sweet memories you gave-a me. You can't beat the memories you gave-a me.) Memories are made of this. (The sweet sweet memories you gave-a me.) Memories Are Made of This, written by Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr, and Frank Miller (1955) Volare, oh oh. Cantare, oh oh oh oh. Let's fly way up to the clouds. Away from the maddening crowds. We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of Where lovers enjoy peace of mind. Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind. Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find. Volare, oh oh. E contare, oh oh oh oh. No wonder my happy heart sings. Your love has given me wings. (in Italian) Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu. Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu. Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito. E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito. Volare, oh oh. E contare, oh oh oh oh. Nel blu, dipinto di blu. Felice di stare lassu. E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su. Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu. Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me. Volare, oh oh. E cantare, oh oh oh oh. No wonder my happy heart sings. Your love has given me wings. Nel blu, dipinto di blu. Felice di stare lassu.
