Woody Herman recorded a different version for release as V-Disc 320 B1, issued in November, 1944. The lyrics are slightly different in the V-Disc version with Frances Wayne on vocals with Woody Herman. Harry James and Johnny Long also recorded versions of this song first recorded by Glenn Miller in 1942.
