In 1954, American musician Bob Merrill wrote this song "Italian Mambo Italiano" on a napkin in an Italian restaurant in new york. The song skillfully combined the beautiful Italian Napoli folk style with the hot mambo rhythm, which was very lively and playful.
This song was sung by the very popular female singer Rosemary Clooney (the aunt of Hollywood superstar George Clooney) at that time, and it was immediately popular all over the world, and it has been covered many times for half a century with many versions.
In Stephen Chow's movie Gambler 2, the song was re-written in Chinese and changed into Barbecued Bags, which was very funny and was sung by Paula Tsui.
