Joyous laugh! Louis Prima and Kelly Smith did a great version of that one... Whenever they show the wedding scene in “The Godfather” and Mama and that little old man sing, I can’t help it, I sing and clap to the music, and laugh! Best part of the whole movie!

I have to agree. The old guy singing it, the hand gestures—priceless! And the song has innuendo, but not so bad that the little kids would understand. I can read Italian but those lyrics are written in Neapolitan dialect, which I can't make out, except for the part where he switches from English to Neapolitan to say the racy part:

“You better marry a fireman he’ll come and go,
Go and come sempr’s la pompa a mano tiene...
"Go and come, he's always got the hose in his hand" — LOL!
