The final 4:30 of this Sennett short, titled after Bing's famous radio theme. Franklin Pangborn is the hapless suitor spurned by Babe Kane in this "mistaken identity" saga. Crosby would keep the in-joke about Jack Smith (one of his replacements with Paul Whiteman and a lightweight rival in the 1930s singstakes) alive on his radio shows well into the '50s!

My Dad was a big fan of 'Der Bingle' as he would call him. And Dad was a great singer and whistler too. I never liked Bing's singing as a child. What a dolt I was. Sure appreciate him now. Can anyone recommend a song that demonstrates Bing's mastery of the bass registers?
I only recently learned of Bing, so this is all very new to me, but I am having a great time going through his songs, and have ordered some of them on 78 rpm records. Can't wait.
Mario Lanza, Gordon MacRae, Nat King Cole, Frank, Bing and Howard Keel should all be in there. Unfortunately volume sales matter a lot in these things as well as longevity.
I had the happy fortune of inheriting a bunch of Bing Crosby movies from my grandma when I was about 10, and my sister and I just looooved him to death! I'm now 23, and sharing him with my hubby and son. I can't believe more people don't enjoy the oldie but goodies!
