There's been a TV commercial for telstra's new 'imode' which has a song that goes 'I I I I I I love you very, I I I I I I think you're grand'...does anyone know the origin of this song and what it's called? Odd request I know but I'm keen to know :) Thanx in advance.

Sounds scarily like Shirley Temple to me.

The GIO ad with the whistling really grates my goat.

It's from the 1940s musical "That Night In Rio" by our favourite fruit bowl head, Carmen Miranda. So no need to get that out on DVD eh?

Good work soulbboy.

It is a great movie too, well worth a look if you like stuff from that era.

I don't own the record, but being a bass player I've had to play it a few times over the years, it isn't one of my favourites I'm afraid.
