Italian styled singer and guitarist Lou Monte's only US album chart entry was with this collection of children's novelty songs, boosted by the top ten appearance of Pepino The Italian Mouse in the US singles chart. (US:9)

"Sung in a pastiche of both Calabrese and English, Pepino The Italian Mouse tells the humorous tale of a mischievous mouse who comes out at night to eat cheese, drink wine and frighten Lou's girlfriend."
