And Vic Damone (or maybe Tony Martin) did HERE (In This Enchanted Place), 
borrowed from Rigoletto. Never returned, as far as I know.

Years ago, we used to have to do segments on the radio called "foreground" 
where we'd devote fifteen minutes to a particular subject, even though we were 
a pop music station (all FM stations in Canada had to do this a minimum number 
of times a day) so one copout I enjoyed was taking songs that were in the music 
universe anyway and linking them up as "Questions and Answers". One I got a 
kick out of getting away with was

WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF? (for those who don't remember the 70s, the next line 
is "When we were making love, Last night")
ME AND MRS. JONES
