Looking for a song from the movie "Shop Around The Corner"

I’m tryign to find the name of an old russian song, the same song that is played by the music boxes at the beginning of “The Shopm Around The Croner”. I can say the darn song, but I couldn’t spell it if my life depended on it, any help?

Apparently I have some serious spelling issues anyway… :wink:

Damn, I saw that movie, and for the life of me, I can’t remember. Something by Tchaikofski, maybe?

If anyone has a copy of the film, it should be pretty easy to find out. It is when the female clerk first appears. I googled for the script, or for info, but I got nothing. Now you have me wondering about it.

Ok, I’m going to try and spell it as I would say it, so bear with me, and let me know if it rings a bell: Oh Tchoochania. :wink:

I tried to Google that movie and some sites suggested the song was Ochichornya or Ochi Chornya.

Aha! Now that I have the name, I have it. It is named “Ochi Chornye”, which means “Black Eyes”

It seems to be a traditional Russian/Gypsy tune, and you can find a sample here.

Thanks much guys! That song title has been bugging me for days :slight_smile:
