“Mambo Italiano” is a popular song written by Bob Merrill in 1954 for the American singer Rosemary Clooney. The song became a hit for Clooney, reaching the top ten on record charts in the US and France and No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1955. The song has shown enduring popularity, with several cover versions and appearances in numerous films.
Bette Midler remade “Mambo italiano” for her 2002 album “Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook”. This version was used as the travelling music and final credits in 2023 Film: “Book Club: The Next Chapter”. I fell in love with the song when we watched this movie.
Our Hoedown is based on the Bette Midler Version.
We have two versions included for you. The first is the full instrumental version and the second a more traditional version of a hoedown with no leads.
