I’m not looking for the original Doris Day version, but there is some song, somewhere, that includes at least the chorus of Que Sera, Sera.
The song is sung by a male, and there is a female background singer singing the lyrics of Que Sera, Sera.
I know someone out there has heard this song, and I would gladly sing your praises in the street to Que Sera, Sera of course if you would help me stop beating my head against the wall searching for this elusive track.
Could it be the 1987 song Lost in Emotion by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam? It references “Que Sera Sera” in the chorus.
Is it the Sly and the Family Stone version?
Hmm, I will listen to these two and find out if they are the one I’m trying to find.
Thanks for the help
edit:
I don’t think its the lisa Lisa song, the main singer was male if I remember correctly.
It doesn’t seem that Sly and the Family was it either.
Its not Pink Martini or Hermes House Band
As luck would have it, I’m not sure that the main song was “que sera sera” just that it played at least a small part.

The head pounding goes on…
Wax Tailor- que sera.
This might be the song you were looking for. Lounge groove with ‘que sera sera’ in the background. Great song.
This isn’t it, but it’s a great live version from 1966 by Geno Washington.
I last saw him play maybe 10 years ago and he was still putting on a hell of a performance…and Que Sera Sera was still in his set!
Was it sung by the Zombies?
I don’t know the song, but it might help your search to know that the Italian version of the phrase is pronounced almost the same but spelled “Che sarà.” Jose Feliciano had a song of that title, but it doesn’t sound like the one you’re thinking of.
It’s unlikely, but The K Foundation’s “K Cera Cera” interpolated the tune. I say unlike because it didn’t get much airplay. I’ll quote liberally from Wikipedia:
*“K Cera Cera”, a presentation of The Red Army Choir by the K Foundation (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty), was released as a limited edition single in Israel and Palestine in November 1993. The song was an amalgam of Jay Livingston/Ray Evans’s “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” and John Lennon/Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”.
Originally intended for release when “world peace [is] established” (i.e. “never” and in “no formats”), the Israeli release was made “In acknowledgement of the recent brave steps taken by the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)”. Said Bill Drummond: “Our idea was to create awareness of peace in the world. Because we were worried it would be interpreted by the public as an attempt by The KLF to return to the music world on the back of a humanist gimmick, we decided to hide behind the Foundation.”
Plans to broadcast the track from the main stage of the 1993 Glastonbury Festival at the beginning and end of every day were scuppered by festival organiser Michael Eavis because, in his words, the record was “simply dreadful”.*
