Theme from a summer place + This one תודה לתומריקו שסייע לי להגיע לנעימה היפה, ולפורום האוכל של ווינט שכיוונו +Sandra Dee in A Summer Place

ההודעה המקורית בעניין הנעימה מפורום זיהוי שירים בתפוז
אם אתה שואל על הפרומו החדש של קשת לקיץ

אז זה נעימת הנושא מהסרט a summer place שהלחין Max Steiner
במקור ביצוע אינסטרומנטליPercy Faith - Theme From A Summer Place
בפרומו זה ביצוע ווקאלי עם מילים שהוספו אח"כ נדמה לי שזה אנדי וויליאמס מבצע:
