Leslie Nielsen?
In what has been in retrospect a brilliant move by the movie producers of “Son of Paleface”, they allowed Dinah Shore to record the song several months before the movie for which it was written came out. Jane Russell and Bob Hope’s version in the movie was whimsical and nowhere near as polished as was Dinah Shores’. Roy Rogers’ song with Bob Hope’s commentary in the movie IMO was the first rap song recorded.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Bob Hope version.
Love those old songs. They were popular when my mom was little, and she made sure I got to hear all the wonderful tunes of that era. She had an LP of the sound track of Tammy and the Bachelor, beautiful music!
Recommended: Dinah Shore singing “Blues in the Night.” Teresa Brewer singing “Mutual Admiration Society.” Peggy Lee singing “Fever.”
