Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Remastered

Written by Don Raye and Hughie Prince, this jump-blues number is about a trumpeter from Chicago who's drafted into the army during World War II and shakes up Reveille as the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B. It was originally intended for Lou Costello to perform in the 1941 Abbott & Costello comedy, Buck Privates, but was reworked for The Andrews Sisters, who introduced it in the film. The trio also released the tune as a single that same year, and it peaked at #6.

This was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to "The Last Time I Saw Paris" from Lady Be Good.

Raye and Prince also wrote the hits "Rhumboogie" and "Beat Me Daddy, Eight To the Bar" for The Andrews Sisters.
