紐西蘭最近把Engelbert Humperdinck的 "Ten Guitars"這首歌當作以數字為主題的郵票之一，這首歌是1967年暢銷曲"Please Release Me"反面的歌，但是在紐西蘭特別流行，曾經一度有歌迷呼籲以這首歌當紐西蘭國歌。
Engelbert Humperdinck 1936年出生於印度的Mardras，本名Arnold Dorsey，但在英格蘭Leicester長大，1958年開始灌唱片，1965年遇到Tom Jones的經紀人Gordon Mills，在他的建議後改名Engelbert Humperdinck（這原是德國一位著名的歌劇作曲家的名字），1967-1971年Engelbert有連續11首歌獲得Adult Contemporay抒情歌曲排行榜前10名的佳績。
後來以Release Me（And Let Me Love Again）之名在美國推出的這首歌是Engelbert Humperdinck 1967年第4名的成名曲，Ten Guitars是45轉小唱片反面的歌，作者就是Gordon Mills。
Engelbert Humperdinck在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第307名。
Ten Guitars
Writer: GORDON MILLS
have a band of men and all they do is play for me
They come from miles around to hear them play a melody
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love this is what you do
Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars
Guitars are made for love my band of men will always say
So give each one a pretty girl and they will start to play
Beneath the stars my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love this is what to do
Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance, to my ten guitars
Ooh, let me tell you now
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Hm, come on, everybody,
Dance dance dance to my ten guitars
