From an advertisement for Hunts Ketchup in a 1964 issue of LIFE magazine to a dance sequence in the 1950 Italian film Anna, Hang On Little Tomato includes songs in French, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, Spanish and English.
Una Notte a Napoli, for example, was written with Alba Clemente an Italian stage and television star in the 1970s and DJ Johnny Dynell of the legendary New York-based nightclub Jackie 60.
