The Airbnb promotional video for their chef’s kitchen feature showcases a group of people staying at a beautiful residence complete with a dream kitchen that has all the necessary tools to make a magnificent feast. Outside the place, the lucky vacationers gather ingredients from the garden, acquiring eggs from chickens, and hang pasta to dry. In the end, their efforts are rewarded with a world-class meal at a stunning location, all thanks to Airbnb. Scrumptiously serenading the entire affair is what some will agree is a superior song choice.

The track featured in the ad is Lou Monte’s “Lazy Mary.” While the world-renowned Italian song “Luna Mezzo Mare” has been around for a long time, several individuals have put their own spin on the classic piece of music. Lou Monte is one of them. 

He recorded his version in 1958, and the song ranked high in the Billboard Magazine US weekly charts for several weeks, peaking at the number 12 position. “Lazy Mary” is also featured in the classic film “The Godfather” during the wedding sequence in the beginning. It is also the song the New York Mets traditionally play during the 7th-inning stretch.

The savory song is arguably a perfect addition to the recipe for Airbnb’s chef’s kitchen marketing initiative, resulting in a commercial that will leave many of its viewers satisfied yet wanting more.
