Louis Prima was an American trumpeter, singer, entertainer, and bandleader. While rooted in New Orleans jazz, swing music, and jump blues, Prima touched on various genres throughout his career: he formed a seven-piece New Orleans–style jazz band in the late 1920s, fronted a swing combo in the 1930s and a big band group in the 1940s, helped to popularize jump blues in the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s, and performed frequently as a Vegas lounge act beginning in the 1950s.

From the 1940s through the 1960s, his music further encompassed early R&B and rock ‘n’ roll, boogie-woogie, and Italian folk music, such as the tarantella as featured in “Che La Luna”

Lyrics:
Ce’ ‘la luna mezz’u mare
Mamma mia m’a maritare
Figlia mia a cu te dare
Mamma mia pensace tu

Si ti rugnu o piscaiolu
Iddu va, iddu vene
Sempri lu baccalàu manu teni
Si ci pigghia 'a fantasia
Baccalala ′a figghia mia

Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la

Mama dear come over here
And see who’s looking in my window
It’s the baker boy and look
He’s got a cannoli in his hand

If you marry the baker boy
He will come and he will go
He will always mix the flour in the pan
If you marry the baker boy
He’ll have the cannoli in his hand

Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la

Mamma dear come over here
And see who’s looking in the window
It’s the musician and he’s got
The instrument in his hand

If you marry the musician
He will come and he will go
And he will always be playing in the band
If you marry the musician
He’ll have the trumpet in his hand

Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la

Ce’ ‘la luna mezz’u mare
Mamma mia m’a maritare
Figlia mia a cu te dare
Mamma mia pensace tu

Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la la
Ohh Mama
La la la la la la la
