The background music all seems to be songs by Johnny Mercer. You Go to My head, Jeepers Creepers, You Musta Been a Beautiful Baby. HE is the greatest. Oh yes, and Blues in the Night. The only one I don't recognize as his is South American Way. Does anyone know if he wrote the lyrics for that one?
share"South American Way"
(1939)
Music by Jimmy McHugh
Lyrics by Al Dubin
Actually, Mercer didn't write the lyrics for You Go to My Head. They were written by Haven Gillespie.
shareI noticed the songs too. All of them must have been in the Warner Brothers portfolio because I've heard all of them in earlier WB films. These are the ones I noticed.
Too Marvelous for Words was written for Young Willing and Able, WB 1938, Mercer lyrics. Also used in Dark Passage, WB 1947
South American Way, used in Mildred Pierce, WB 1945, the scene where the 2 girls are singing in the living room
