78s to eat bedtime Shredded Wheat by --
Now playing, Sammy Kaye's big 1941 hit "Daddy," with a vocal by the whole band. Sammy takes a lot of grief from the hepcat crowd, who dismiss him as Kay Kyser without the sense of humor, but he did have a few legitimate hits, and this was one of them. Number one on the sales charts for eight weeks that summer.
Next up, one of the more bizarre personality discs of 1935, Ethel Merman belting out "The Animal In Me," from "The Big Broadcast of 1936." As ear-popping as the record is, the staging in the film is even more astounding, as La Merman cavorts in front of a high-kicking chorus line of trained elephants. Who says all the screwy stuff went out of musicals with the Production Code?
