The Woodpecker song by Glenn Miller

[kostasmitros1]

Also the 'Κορόιδο Μουσολίνι' (Mussolini, you fool) song, a Greek patriotic song during the Greco-Italian War.

Isn't this song's melody taken from the Italian folk song "Campagnola bella"?

my great uncle had a recording machine in 1940 and he made a record of my father singing this song , my dad was eight years old . must have been a big hit that year ! thank you !!!! great

The original record hit number one on the charts the first week in July 1940 and stayed in the number one position for three consecutive weeks.

The Andrews Sisters version of this song is the best..Anyway this is vintage Glenn Miller

[vandywilliam]

There are many versions of this song, but this one -- along with one by the Ray Charles Singers -- are the best, in my opinion.
