It looks like theoldlady initially added 4 to Volare, before switching to King Creole, but didn't readjust the score. Since then 6 points have been subtracted, so we should have 

 

43 Dean Martin — Volare 

 

Please would the next person to post use this score.

Ridiculous. But anyway, believe it or not, we’re already at the final. And there are three Elvii, two Nats and two Deans. What’s the limiting factor here, the music back then or your imagination?

I like everything here. Also, the first KoS final where everyone is dead. The first 50s final at least had Paul Anka, Connie Francis, and a couple of the Teenagers.
