Tonight You Belong to Me x 3

David Singer and Eva Yusa performed a lovely version of the ditty "Tonight You Belong To me" at The Ukulele Cabaret. It was written in 1926 and recorded many times throughout the years. The uke version was made famous by Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters in the 1979 movie The Jerk, with Martin playing the ukulele and Peters playing the cornet:

And Fiona Apple with Jon Brion and Nickel Creek:

I cannot get that song out of my head since David and Eva graced us with their sweet rendition. What year was that Fiona/JB/Nickel Creek performance?

QD - i've had the same exact problem! What a great song, and, i have to say i believe JB and Fiona needed that backing band so they wouldn't be embarrassed by how good D&E were.
