Magic in Tunes – Round and Round

For all songs in this series, go here.

For it’s very first Super Bowl (American Football) commercial in February of 2024, Lindt Chocolates used the song Round and Round by Perry Como in the background with a Lindt Chocolate Ball bouncing thru lives of people enjoying the chocolate. More than the commercial, the song stuck in my head for a long time. 😛

Originally this song was published by Joe Shapiro and Lou Stallman in 1956, Perry Como released a version of this in 1957 going on to become a huge hit that year. This was the last overall Billboard Number One song for Perry Como. Here is the audio of the original song

Here are the Lyrics from the original Song:

Find a wheel, and it goes round, round, round

As it skims along with a happy sound

As it goes, along the ground, ground, ground

‘Till it leads you to the one you love!

Then your love, will hold you round, round, round

And your heart’s a song with a brand new sound

And your head, goes spinnin’ round, round, round

‘Cause you found what you’ve been dreamin’ of!

In the night you see the oval moon

Goin’ round and round in tune

And the ball of sun in the day

Makes a girl and boy wanna say:

Find a ring, (find a ring . . .) and put it round, round, round

And with ties so strong two hearts are bound

Put it on, (put it on . . .) the one you found, found, found

For you kno’ that this is really love! (. . . this is really love!)

Find a wheel, (find a wheel . . .) and it goes round, round, round

As it skims along with a happy sound

As it goes, (as it goes . . .) along the ground, ground, ground

‘Till it leads you to the one you love! (. . . to the one you love!)

Then your love, (then your love) you’ll hold her round, round, round

And your heart’s a song with a brand new sound

And your head, (and your head) goes spinning round, round, round

‘Cause you found what you’ve been dreamin’ of! (. . . you’ve been dreamin’ of!)

In the night you see the oval moon

Goin’ round and round in tune (going round and round!)

And the ball of sun in the day

Makes a girl and boy wanna say: (wanna say, wanna say!)

Find the ring, (find the ring . . .) and put it round, round, round

And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound

Put it on, the one you found, found, found,

For you know that this is really love!

Find a ring, put it on

For you know that this is really love

Really love . . . really love . . . hmmm!
