I love this song, which seems to come from a time both more innocent (lines like "what's in this drink?" have only one answer in today's culture) and more sophisticated (men and women knew how to flirt). A great song about falling in love in the wintertime.
Dean Martin's That's Amore is a gem, and he is a good singer, but I've always preferred Vic Damone, whose approach is deeper and richer. His classic, The Girl From Ipanema, is one of my favorites, but there are many more.

I always rather like Dean martin
I love the song. And Dean Martin was an effective singer when it suited him.

How did that get past the spam filter??
Great song. Thx. Married to someone from his home town in Ohio, so he's always top of the charts here.
