It is sung by Bloody Mary to the American lieutenant Joe Cable, about having a happy life, after he begins romancing her daughter Liat, who performs the song with hand gestures as Mary sings. Ella Fitzgerald recorded this song in 1955 with Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra and in July 1982, The Damned's guitarist Captain Sensible reached the No. 1 position on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks with his version of the song, featuring backing vocals by the band Dolly Mixture. In 2004, UK grime MC Dizzee Rascal sampled Captain Sensible's track on the single "Dream", which reached No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart. This arrangement for concert band follows the Captain Sensible version, shifting the key down to a more band-friendly one but still containing all the chaotic charm of the original. #happytalk #southpacific #rodgersandhammerstein #bloodymary #captainsensible #1982 #dollymixture #score #music #sheetmusicplus #band #johnivorholland #concertband #musicalensemble #sheetmusicdirect #windensemble #musical #broadway #broadwaymusical #dream #dizzeerascal
