Yeah, you should hear Cal Tjader (and his Modern Mambo Quintet) play it and
sing it.
There's a clip at

Not to mention Spike Jones's immortal rendition. It's purportedly
available at <http://music.yahoo.com/track/1716683>, but I couldn't
get the audio to work.

Klo-ee, with the emphasis on the first syllable.

Ah, yes, cowbells. Spike Jones and Gustav Mahler -- kindred spirits.

Yeah, but Cal Tjader has a special place in my heart. My major sweetie of
that time and I used to go dancing at Club Macumba in San Francisco, and Cal
was playing there.

No, never an umlaut with an E, and never an umlaut anyway in a word
that isn't German. An umlaut indicates a certain modification of the
vowel, not that it is not part of a diphthong.
The two dots in "Chloë" are a dieresis or trema, to indicate that this
is not a diphthong.
They look identical, but then, a capital A looks exactly like a Greek
capital alpha, yet they are different letters.
OK. I think I had the dieresis in parens the last time I used "umlaut". I
was a bit uncomfortable with umlaut, anyway, because in my non-German way, I
find the umlaut forces a diphthong, and I was wanting just the opposite.
Other than that, Mr. Lincoln, how did you like the play? |

I get a "Sorry, the sample is unable to be played" with firefox and the
longer "Error / Sorry, the sample is not available at this time. Please
try again later. / Error Code: 28 - 0" with IE.
The allmusic site has some 18 choices of audio clips of Spike Jones
versions of the song. The one at
<http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE57F1CDC4EA97F20C9933246DCBC7FD20CDF51EE861229445E92BB345C913421D44BC0A5BAF8B672AB71B0FD2EA45F43DAC0ED54F6DD622D5DF0&sql=50:efu068p471w0~T>
is from _Louder & Funnier_ and its 719098 bytes are only 30" of the
4'40" of the song. A tiny url for the album link (the song is cut 14)
is <http://tinyurl.com/9vmth>. |

You can pronounce it KLOWiy - Pronounce K as in "key (K.IY)" ; L as in "lee (L.IY)" ; OW as in "oat (OW.T)" ; IY as in "eat (IY.T)"
Hear the mp3 pronunciation directly at this page on the meaning of Chloe. |
