Peter Pepper: [Announcing live on the air] Sorry to interrupt that pretty thing, folks, but, uh, here's your second treat tonight -- a brand new recording right off the grizzle. I've just received it from the Fight Company. But first, a word from our sponsor. Friends, when you cross the street against the red light, do you get that run down feeling? When you lose your grocery list, do your laundry list, do you feel listless? And do you wake up with that morning-after-the- night-before feeling wishing you were dead and hoping for a nice, quiet breakfast? Then eat Shoggies. They don't crackle, they don't crunch, they just sit in the bottom of the bowl and sop up the milk. And now a brand new song that's red hot. This is the year when novelty numbers have been all the rage and my spies tell me this pre-release will top their long list of successes which have gone out to you from the platter parade. It's all about a choo choo train from Chattanooga. But why spoil it for you? Here it is. Listen.

It features June Haver and Gloria DeHaven, 2 Fox B musical leads, who play musical sisters, performing together, or singly, or with Irish tenor Dennis Day. Harry James' orchestra is also present for some numbers. Lots of familiar favorites are featured, instead of hit or miss new songs. There's a young Steve Allen, as a disc jockey, and perennial favorite Thelma Ritter. Triple threat Dan Dailey makes a cameo appearance at the end, exhibiting some singing and dancing. My main gripe is that Dan should have taken the place of bland William Lundigan, hopefully providing more humor and some additional Dan-styled dancing.
