"Quando, Quando, Quando" is an Italian pop song dating from the early 1960s, written by Alberto Testa and Tony Renis (sometimes credited under his birth name Elio Cesari). Renis made the song famous.
[edit] English versions
It has frequently been performed in English translation, with lyrics by Ervin Drake. The title translates as "When, When, When". Quando is the only Italian word normally retained in the English version, although some performers add another Italian word or phrase.
The song has been used and remixed by many artists and in many different advertisements. The most notable rendition in English was by pop singer Engelbert Humperdinck. In 2005, Nelly Furtado performed the song as a duet with Michael Bublé. There is an instrumental Latin version by Edgardo Cintron and The Tiempos Noventa Orchestra.
[edit] In popular culture
The song was used in the movie The Blues Brothers 1980: when Jake and Elwood first encounter Murph and The Magictones, they are playing this song at the Holiday Inn.
It was also used in 2008 in the Fiat Punto advertisements mimicking the 'Italian Job'
