Maybe a bit 'cheesy' but nevertheless a great melody that gets stuck in the ear.

Original:    • Moon Over Naples (Spanish Eyes)  

MOON OVER NAPLES is a 1965 instrumental composed and recorded by German bandleader Bert Kaempfert. The instrumental version reached No. 6 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. It won a BMI Award in 1968.

Vocal versions of the song have been recorded as SPANISH EYES with lyrics by Eddie Snyder and Charles Singleton. The most notable of these was released by Al Martino, which topped Billboard's Easy Listening chart for 4 weeks in 1966. It is one of the most recorded songs with over 500 versions released in various languages.

MOON OVER NAPLES was composed by Bert Kaempfert. It was the first track on his album, The Magic Music of Far Away Places, for Decca Records. In 1968, MOON OVER NAPLES earned Kaempfert one of five BMI Awards that year; the other awards were for his compositions "Lady", "Sweet Maria", "Strangers in the Night" and "The World We Knew (Over and Over)" with a posthumous BMI Award given September 16, 2003.
Two different sets of lyrics were added to the tune by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. In one, MOON OVER NAPLES was written as a Neapolitan song, and this vocal version was recorded by Sergio Franchi in 1965, but the song did not chart. In another set of lyrics, the composition became a song about a Mexican girl, and the song title was changed to "Spanish Eyes". Both lyricists are credited in these two versions. (Wikipedia)
