SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Memories Are Made of This” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4VEVSBXaP4 …Over the years I’ve developed a respect for Dean Martin as an entertainer and vocalist, especially for his choices and delivery of songs. I do several covers of his songs (especially in my care home set) and his name provided a lyrical refraction in my original song “Somebody Loves You (Like Dino Said).” In 1955 he had a #1 hit with the folk-doo wop song “Memories Are Made of This.” It became a theme for a book written by his daughter Deana, a singer in her own right whose career intersected with The Monkees and Davy Jones (they also dated back in the day). Davy was also close friends with Dino Martin (of Dino Desi & Billy), and when they weren’t driving old army tanks around in the desert, they played pool with Dean at Dean’s home. Davy was quite a comedy quipster, and he often said, “It’s OK to steal my jokes. I just stole them from someone else.” One of his “someone else” sources was Dean Martin. “Memories Are Made of This” was written by Richard Dehr, Terry Gilkyson, and Frank Miller—as The Easy Riders, they provided the vocal harmonies on Dean’s version. After the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the song was adapted into the "Honvágy-dal" ('The Song of Homesickness”) and used as an unofficial anthem for refugees scattered around the world. Recorded by Ida Boros, it became a cultural phenomenon and a sign of protest against the communist government. The standard English version has been covered countless times (notably by Little Richard, Johnny Cash, and Cliff Richard & The Shadows).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4VEVSBXaP4
