The Danny Kaye Radio Show - Tschaikowsky (and other Russians)

Here's the radio show version of the song that arguably launched Danny Kaye to stardom with his phenomenal performance in K.Weill's "Lady in the Dark" (1941). Here, it seems, he manages to rattle off the some 46 Russian/Polish composers' names even faster than his record of 38 seconds !

Unlike most of Danny's famous patter songs this one owes its success not to the talents of Sylvia Fine, but those of Ira Gershwin.
