Gordon was apparently inspired to write the song after the success of another song that he wrote punning on the name of States of the United States of America: "Mister and Mississippi."{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} The hit version of the song was recorded by Perry Como on December 28, 1959. It was released by RCA Victor Records as a 45rpm single with catalog number 47-7670 and as a stereophonic 45rpm single with catalog number 61-7670. The flip side was "I Know What God Is". The record reached #22 on the Billboard charts in March 1960.[3] The same recording, with the same B-side, was released by RCA in the United Kingdom (catalog number 1170) where, oddly, it did even better than in the U.S., reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] Copyright over the lyrics of "Delaware" is held by Sony/ATV Music Publishing from whom permission must be obtained to reproduce the lyrics.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delaware-recorded-Perry-Irving-Gordon/dp/B001DGT204 |title=Delaware (recorded by Perry Como): Amazon.co.uk: Irving Gordon: Books |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2013-09-29}} {{Perry Como}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://kokomo.ca/pop_standards/delaware_lyrics.htm |title=Delaware ~ lyrics |publisher=Kokomo.ca |date=2011-12-09 |accessdate=2013-09-29}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.musicvf.com/song.php?id=32620&artist=Perry+Como&title=Delaware |title=Delaware (song by Perry Como) ••• Music VF, US & UK hits charts |publisher=Musicvf.com |date=February 27, 1960 |accessdate=September 29, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Delaware|url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/delaware-mt0026797484/lyrics|publisher=allmusic.com|accessdate=29 September 2013}} 5 : 1959 songs|1960 singles|Songs written by Irving Gordon|Perry Como songs|RCA Victor singles |
