Round 4: Tossup 4

The title family float into the sky using their umbrellas while singing Isao Takahata’s translation of this song at the end (-5[1])of My Neighbors the Yamadas. In Mary and Max, Pink Martini’s cover of this song plays as the camera rotates around Mary hallucinating about her family photos while contemplating hanging herself. Dialogue from Hollywood classics like Ben-Hur enhances a sample of this song’s chorus in a 2005 trip-hop remix by Wax Tailor. This song plays as the title trio of (*) schoolgirls gleefully play croquet (10[1])in the opening credits of Heathers. In the film (10[1])that introduced this song, a plot to assassinate a prime minister at an embassy is foiled when a kidnapped boy whistles along with his mother singing this song. For 10 points, Hitchcock’s 1956 The Man Who Knew Too Much introduced what Doris Day song that popularized its title mistranslated Spanish idiom? ■END■
