That's Amore
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
When boy meets girl here's what they say)
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
Lucky fella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fagiole
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore, (amore)
That's amore
That's Amore - Hazell Dean
Hazell Dean's 1963 recording of 'That's Amore' stands as a definitive example of the British pop revival that followed the Beatles' success. Released on Decca Records, the track features Dean's distinctive, breathy vocal style that became her signature, blending traditional pop sensibilities with a modern production approach. While the song's melody and lyrics are widely recognized from earlier American standards, Dean's interpretation brought a fresh, youthful energy to the material that resonated deeply with audiences across Europe. The recording showcases her ability to deliver emotional nuance within the constraints of a classic love song structure, solidifying her status as a leading figure in mid-1960s British pop music alongside contemporaries like The Beatles and The Hollies. This particular single remains a staple of her discography, representing the era's shift toward more polished, studio-crafted pop recordings.
