With “Who’s Gonna Pay the Check” Peggy not only displayed her talent for writing both words and music, but also her flair for foreign character accents, previously displayed in such hits as “Chi-baba, Chi-baba (My Bambino, Go to Sleep),” “Caramba! It’s the Samba!” and her own “Mañana.” She recorded this song with Dave Barbour and His Orchestra for Decca Records on February 18, 1953, and it peaked at #22 on Billboard’s charts in May of that year.
