"Strangers in the Night" is a song made famous by Frank Sinatra, who recorded it in 1966. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. One of its most recognized features is Sinatra beginning the melody again with the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo," as the track fades to the end.

The English lyrics were written by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder.

There are two origins of the music:

• Ivo Robić - composed it for the music festival in Split, Croatia. Robić later sang it also in German - "Fremde in der Nacht" - and Croatian - "Stranci u Noći".
• Bert Kaempfert made a thorough adaptation and an arrangement of the piece.

Cover Versions

• Cake covered this song for the Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse" videogame soundtrack.
• José Feliciano covered this song as "Extraños En La Noche" on the album Sombras... Una Voz, Una Guitarra in 1967.
