Maybe not as popularly known as Caravan or Quiet Village, but way up there. I love the 1961 Tito Contreras version, but there are a lot of good ones out there. The song itself dates back to the end of the 1930s. Vintage Lounge has a 1946 edition available by Morton Gould. See the first entry on http://vintagelounge.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_vintagelounge_archive.html It was Carmen Miranda's version that was used in Terry Gilliam's film Brazil.
