Help - instrumental music on Cruising with Marie

[jipsi]

Help! Last night I watched a syndicated episode called "Cruising with Marie"...I think it was from season 3 or 4...

Basically, Frank fakes an injury so he can stay home, and Raymond accompanies his Mother (Doris Roberts) on the cruise she booked.
There is a 'montage' part midshow where it shows Marie having various fun on deck, while Raymond eats...and eats...and eats...

An instrumental tune plays during that montage for a couple minutes, and it's KILLING ME, because I remember it from when I was a child in the 60's (think 60's supermarket 'muzak'...kind of carribean, horns and marimbas, etc.).

It has been in my head all night and day since, and I need to know what that instrumental song is called...
Can anybody help??

Thanks,

UPDATE (and this is incredible), within 5 minutes of typing my last post (re: the song played in background on Cruising With Marie), my brother started HUMMING the very song, and we now know, finally...that it is....(drum roll please):
The instrumental tune was from the 60's, and is called "Yellow Bird"...we're not sure yet, but it may have been by Bert Kaempfert? Herb Alpert? If this brings us closer to figuring this out, it'd be so appreciated!
