I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine - Dean Martin

I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine - Dean Martin
1:57
single, 1950
Written by Mack David, 1949

This is a funny, playful song about how the narrator prefers the night time because that's when he gets to smooch his baby.  "I don't care if the sun don't shine / I get my loving in the evening time when I'm / With my baby."  It's a perfect song for Dean's carefree, swinging pubic persona.  His smooth, easy croon blends nicely with the big band and Dixie horns.  Fun fact: this song was written for the film Cinderella, but wasn't used in it.  Which makes sense, because it's just a shade risqué and doesn't really fit with the Disneyfied fairy tale tone of the film.
