Herbie TV series - what's that song??

Does anyone know Italian songs?

This is episode 3 of the Disney 'Herbie The Matchmaker' TV series from 1982.

If you forward 6:40, Herbie plays an Italian song on his horn - to warn Jim that Sergio the Italian race driver is moving in on his girlfirend.

What is the name of the song?? I know the tune, and so does most people I've asked, but no one knows what it is called. Can anyone help?

Can anyone do the hi-tech thing and use some sort of 'name the tune' app to find out what song it is??



I'm writing a summary of these 5 episodes for the Club website, and have reached an impasse on this one.

Its definitely not the Italian national anthem. I know the music, im just trying to find which Operetta its from.

You guys are brilliant !Thank you so much for that.

Not knowing what it was called, I couldn't look it up. I don't speak Italian so I couldn't search for the lyrics. I could only 'da da da d-d-dah' to people and watch their blank expressions! Not even my daughter's school music teacher knew it.

I had people try to tell me it was the song from the Dolmio pasta ad, but that's La Donna el Mobile - totally different song.

Very grateful - thanks again.

Sorry if i got a bit excited with the multiple posts, but Evergreen music is what i roll with hahaha

Phil74Camper ·

Thanks for your help with that one.

What about this one - another more upbeat Italian song that Herbie plays on his horn, in the same episode? Go to 35:55, and again at 37:27...
