<P> Wayne Newton 's first version was released when he was 21 years old . The song was originally intended for singer Bobby Darin as a follow - up to his hit single `` Mack the Knife '' , but after seeing Newton perform at the Copacabana , Darin decided to give the song to Newton and transposed the key of the recording to fit Newton 's voice . It has been featured in many television commercials and motion pictures , such as Ferris Bueller 's Day Off , Meet the Parents , Matchstick Men , Vegas Vacation , Fools Rush In as well as the French - American comedy Crime Spree . In 2015 , it was used in a television commercial for Bank of America and in 2017 was used in a trailer for the video game Wolfenstein II : The New Colossus . The Newton version peaked at Billboard positions # 13 pop , # 3 easy listening . </P>
