Points: 449 Average: 23,63 SD: 7,243 (14th lowest) ----- Despite being cheesy as the product of its time, I think this song is cute and charming in its own way. Lyrics may raise some eyebrows but I think the cheesiness is part of its appeal imo.Where I would've ranked it: #24-----

Pretty much ranked it low out of necessity, but this is a good song.

in terms of Dean Martin I prefer songs like "Ain't That A Kick in the Head" or "Houston"

This isn't bad but eh, it's Paul Anka. His music tops out at "nothing special" and the floor can get pretty low

A great slowburner. Though I may be kind of weird in that I prefer "The Great Pretender" and "Twilight Time"

This is an exercise in precise bombast in an era where most artists got it oh so wrong. The reason it works here, where it doesn't in other, similar songs of the era, is in how it builds to the ending, gradually becoming bigger and bigger, until it explodes at the very end, in one of the best endings of its era, or any era, really.
Perhaps the pinnacle of the late-50's traditional pop sound.

Wow, did not think this would go out this early, actually, even in a RD as stacked as this one.
Every song down to around my #25 is great, this is no exception.

I'm glad my bottom 2 left in the bottom 2, they were the only songs here that I just didn't care for. It kinda sucks to lose "Leader Of The Pack" here though, that was my favourite first listen.

I was really hoping to get around to this one, but nonetheless I’d like to be tagged along with the reveals if possible.
I’ll add that Dean Martin’s “That's Amore” wasn’t deserving of last place and I myself would’ve put it somewhere in my top 20.
