<p>I couldn&#8217;t find the absolutely exquisite Dorothy Lamour/Jimmy Dorsey version from the film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034736/" target="_blank"><em>The Fleet&#8217;s In</em></a> (starring a ridiculously young Bill Holden), but I enjoyed this Slim Whitman kind-of-funky version of one of the most beautiful love songs ever written:</p>

<p>Incidentally, Mark Steyn is paying tribute to Johnny Mercer this month.  You can read about Johnny Mercer&#8217;s delightful <a href="http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/2618/28/" target="_blank"><em>Goody, Goody</em></a> here.  The whole first part of the Steyn podcast on Mercer is <a href="http://www.steynonline.com/images/banners/masthead/sotw%20johnny%20mercer%20centenary%20special.mp3" target="_blank">here</a> (part two to follow later in the month).  It&#8217;s a must-hear for Mercer fans, or for any fans of the American Popular Songbook.</p>
