Additional:
Has a Wikipedia page.
Had a number of title variations (mostly shortening this), including Auf Galapagos mit dir allein.
This was already a classic by the time of that release (published in 1929 by Warner Bros), though it's unknown who first performed it (Dinah Shore?).
It has since been covered numerous times (by Basie, Brubeck, Hawkins, Getz, Davis...).
Apparently played only once by Chick Webb formation.
