I had a couple of different ideas for songs for a Mother's Day post, but once I remembered this one, it was over. It's just too perfect. It's Dean Martin's solo performance from the greatest gangster musical ever made, Robin and the Seven Hoods. It's also easily the best Rat Pack movie. Sure you don't have Peter Lawford or Joey Bishop, but you gain Bing Crosby and Peter Falk, and that's more than a fair trade. If you like Johnny Dangerously, put this on your Netflix que. You won't be disappointed.
But enough about gangster movies... here's to my mom, and your mom, and my niece's mom, and every mom everywhere. Happy Mother's Day!
