Well, it is in certain mid-20th century popsongs, yes.
Outside of that, it would sound weird to me, since as
a phrase it's not the kind of thing that you usually
nativize. (I always got annoyed with this one girl
in German class in highschool who insisted that because
one dialect in Bavaria has [S] for <ch>, she need not
learn how to pronounce /x/ in the Standard -- the
parochialness of it!)
