Ciribiribin (Cheerie-beerie-be) -
"Ciribiribin" is a merry Piedmontese ballad, originally in three-quarter time, composed by Alberto Pestalozza in 1898 with lyrics by Carlo Tiochet. It quickly became popular and has been recorded by many artists. Decades later it enjoyed continued popularity with swing and jazz bands, played in four-four time.
It was a success as "Ciribiribin Waltz" for Prince's Orchestra in 1911 reaching a number three position in the charts of the day as calculated by Joel Whitburn.
Grace Moore enjoyed chart success with the song in 1934 reaching a peak position of number 15. She also made a live recording accompanied by a pianist, Gibner King, as an encore after presenting some pieces with Willem Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra on June 23, 1936.
The song was a favorite of Harry James, who chose it as his theme song when he formed his band in 1939 and wrote English lyrics for it with Jack Lawrence. The James version reached the No. 10 spot in the charts in 1940. Frank Sinatra worked with James's band for a while before going to work for Tommy Dorsey. On the James/Sinatra recording of the song, Sinatra enunciated the trailing "n".
Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters recorded the song on September 20, 1939 with Joe Venuti and his Orchestra and it reached the number 13 spot in the charts in 1940. This was Crosby's first recording with the Andrews Sisters and they went on to have another 22 chart hits together in the US.
Artists who have recorded the song in Italian include Gracie Fields, Mario Lanza, Claudio Villa, and Renato Carosone. Coloratura soprano Erna Sack recorded the song in German. Wikipedia
