    Does anyone know the name of the song that's played at the wedding scene in the middle of Mandrakos, that James Darrens' "Spyros Pappadimos" sings along to? Dimitri Tiomkin used a number of traditional Greek tunes in the sound track but I've never come across a listing of them...

    That's it!

    I think it could be the second on the soundtrack list. The first on that list - "Karagouna" - actually refers to the rondel-style dance that the wedding guests are doing at the very start of the clip when the party arrives on the scene.

    But I can't find a soundclip of the second entry by name anywhere to doublecheck.

    Well I don't speak Greeks but I think that song you searching for is "Yalo Yalo". If you compare this song with this one:

    YouTube - Nana Mouskouri - Yalo Yalo

    you can hear that both songs have same words.
