Dean Martin - Humdinger

Copied!

You're a hum hum hum hum hum humdinger
Want to cling cling cling cling clinga clinga
When we ling ling ling ling linger linger
Evert time we kiss goodnight

You're a hum hum hum hum hum humdinger
How my heart sings zing zing zinga zinga
How it ting ting ting ting tinga tinga
When you hug and squeeze me tight

I could call you sugar
Or even turtle dove
But that funny word humdinger
Seems to fit you like a glove

You're a hum hum hum hum humdinger
Gotta ring ring ring ring for your finger
Oh the bells will ring ring ring ring a ringa
Will you marry me tonight

The things you say
Are so inviting
Her lips on mine
Are so exciting
I never knew
What I've been missing
So stay right here
And keep on kissing

I could call you sugar
Or even turtle dove
But that funny word humdinger
Seems to fit you like a glove

You're a hum hum hum hum humdinger
Gotta ring ring ring ring for your finger
Oh the bells will ring ring ring ring a ringa
Will you marry me tonight

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti on June 7, 1917, in Steubenville, Ohio, was an American singer, actor, and comedian. He was the son of Italian immigrants and his first language was Italian, not learning English until the age of five. Dropping out of school at 15, he pursued a career in boxing under the name "Kid Crochet" while also working with local bands as a singer, adopting the stage name "Dino Martini".

In the early 1940s, Martin began singing for bandleader Sammy Watkins, who suggested he change his name to "Dean Martin". He worked with various bands and performed in nightclubs, eventually forming a friendship with Jerry Lewis. The duo of Martin and Lewis became a popular comedy act, leading to a deal with Paramount Pictures in 1949 for a radio show. They starred in numerous Hollywood films before parting ways in 1956.

Martin found success as a Hollywood actor, appearing in movies and television shows while maintaining his singing career. He was a member of The Rat Pack, alongside Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., performing together and starring in films like Ocean's 11. Martin also hosted television shows such as The Dean Martin Show and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast.

Throughout his life, Martin was married three times and had several children. He was known for his laid-back demeanor and smooth singing voice, becoming a beloved entertainer to audiences worldwide. Sadly, Martin was a heavy smoker and was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1993. He passed away on December 25, 1995, at the age of 78, from acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema. Dean Martin's legacy lives on in his timeless music and iconic performances.
