Overview

As a change from their first album, Pink Martini's second album "Hang O n Little Tomato" features mostly original songs written by band members, and sung in six different languages (French, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, Spanish, and English).

The eponymous song title is a reference to the Hunt's Ketchup ad campaign "Hang On, Little Tomato!" in a 1964 issue of "Life" magazine.
