It’s based in a song from the Puccini opera Madame Butterfly.
By an odd coincidence (or is it?), the same song is heard in Convicts at Large. It’s the record playing when Naomi smashes a vase over Floyd’s head, just like Ernest T. did to his rival. Big Maude explains, “Naomi and her husband – that was their song.” The song is also mentioned, but not heard, in a third episode, Look Paw, I’m Dancing. Floyd recommends it to Aunt Bee when she asks about records she might get to help Opie learn to dance.
