I'm particularly fond of the part of the song with just the two Italian cooks singing. Their harmony is really cool and stands out in this version of the song. This is probably going to be a short entry. It's surprisingly difficult to find information on this song. I do know that it has been covered by George Givot, Steve Tyrell, Britney Spears, Ruby Summer, and most recently, the cast of "Glee", among others.
It was written by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke, as were all the songs featured on the Lady and the Tramp soundtrack. Lee also recorded "He's a Tramp", "La La Lu", "The Siamese Cat Song", and "What is a Baby?". The actual translation of the words "bella notte" are, of course, "beautiful night". I've included a Lou Monte recording of the song below that I like pretty well, too.
