Title of the song the three daughters sing while busting up plates


Does anyone know the song the three daughters sing in the kitchen while busting up plates and dancing together? I've had that song stuck in my head for weeks now and know of someone who uses the chorus for horns in another song.

Thanks in advance!

It is def Lila Downs' version used in the movie.

"Quizás,quizás,quizás"; song written by Osvaldo Farrés, a great cuban music composer, in 1947. First english version in 1958, by Nat King Cole.

Sung by Doris Day. Although I found Doris Day singing a version of "Quizás,quizás,quizás," it is different from that used in the movie, where she sings as much as a fifth of an octave lower. It is an extremely passionate rendering of the song, and I wish I could get the recording specifically of that rendering.

1964: The Doris Day version was recorded on November 5, 1964 for Columbia Records and not released as a single, but only on albums (see Latin for Lovers). It was featured in the Australian film Strictly Ballroom in 1992.

Hope this helps,sorry it's so long after your post,but I just read this thread today.

I always knew it as the theme from Coupling. Great show if you aren't familiar with it.
